OUR 'MOTHERS DAY CLASSIC WALK'

AFTERNOON,

As we all know (here in Australia) it was Mothers Day yesterday ... 12th May ... so, as usual my daughter Krystal and I participated in the MOTHERS DAY CLASSIC WALK  that is held every Mothers Day to raise much needed funds and also awareness for BREAST CANCER.

We also had a friend of my daughter's join us for the walk this year, Chanell.

Also it give me a huge amount of pleasure and pride to say that not only did we participate in the walk in Geelong, Victoria, but my sister Helen and her daughters Tara & Ashleigh participated in the same walk held at Cotton Tree on the Sunshine Coast in QUEENSLAND and also my sister-in-law Sharon and her daughters Cherie & Melissa participated in the walk in Adelaide, South Australia.

Here are some of the pics that were taken yesterday ....
