Its Mother's Day

Just wanted to say a big HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the mum's out there! Today is the day to show your mum how much she is appreciated and loved. Its also a time of year I reflect on how lucky I am to still have my mum. Around this time five years ago my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and I didn't know if she would live to see another mother's day. Luckily for me she overcame the cancer but today on the news I discovered  every year 13,000 women in Australia do not. Breast cancer is the now the most common women's cancer out there.

Today the annual Mother's Day Classic was held around Australia, a fun run to raise money for breast cancer. I was amazed to discover that $4 million has been raised for research and thousands gave up their mother's day to complete the run. Congratulations to all those who participated and helped make such a staggering figure of money.
