The vibrant colours of pink and teal will blend beautifully with the backdrop of Caroline Springs Lake for the fourth edition of the Mother’s Day Classic (MDC).
This national fundraising event is held on Mother’s Day each year to raise money and honour those who have fought or are currently fighting breast and ovarian cancer.
The Caroline Springs event will be held on May 11, from 7.30am.
Participants from running clubs, those on wheels, and dog walkers are all invited to take part in a variety of events, including a four-kilometre walk of honour and an eight-kilometre run.
The walk will begin with a minute’s silence, followed by tribute cards being handed out for participants to fill out and carry with them during the walk.
Mother’s Day Classic Foundation director Nicole Oborne said there will be 85 events across the nation this year, making it especially meaningful to have a local one for residents to call their own.
“This event is incredibly important because it gives purpose and meaning to Mother’s Day and while we all need to look after our own wellbeing, this event brings a sense of hope and meaning to our community,” she said.
“On the day, large families will come together in honour of mothers, aunties, grandmothers, and also male participants doing it for their female loved ones and themselves.
“Seeing the community come together like this is something we need to do more often, and having a lake to embrace makes it even more special.”
