“I think the best Mother’s Day present for any woman will be a cure for breast cancer and this is just one way to make that dream come true,”organiser Peter Annis-Brown said.
In the last 21 years, the Mother’s Day Classic has raised more than $33.2 million million for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Since the event’s inception, participants have walked about 6.5 million kilometres.
In 2017, the nation’s combined walks raised $2.8 million which was donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
