This morning was probably one of my favourite runs of the year in the Mothers Day Classic run for breast cancer. Although the event is only 8K, it is greatly important to me due to losing someone close to me a few years ago due to breast cancer. Since then I have no hesitation to get involved with supporting any event that helps to benefit the breast cancer foundation.
Aside from attracting a very strong field, it is one of those great events that bring out families and friends who just want to spend time remembering their loved ones that have passed on and lending support to those that are still suffering.
It was also very pleasing to see that so many unexpected volunteers appeared out of the woodwork to support the day, including the Sydney Roosters Cheer Squad who definitely brought smiles to the many young blokes stood on the start line.
Results are largely inconsequential on this day - it is primarily about the memory of those that have gone before (and very often too young).
