Mother’s Day was a classic

On sunny Sunday, 15 excited Emanuel School grandparents, parents and students met in the city to participate  inthe Mother’s Day Classic in aid of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The energetic Emanuel School Striders team walked, ran and shuffled their way around the
4km and 8km courses which takes one past so many of the gorgeous Sydney landmarks – from the rather odd warthog statue outside the Eye Hospital, past St Mary’s Cathedral, the Art Museum of NSW and around the corner by Mrs Macquarie’s chair, with glimpses of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. In-between the sea of bright bubblegum pink, one could easily make out the maroon t-shirts of the Emanuel team.

In the past 22 years, over 1.27 million people have participated in the event, with $35.3 million raised. Each year we have added to that total and this year was no exception. But, we still need $228 to reach our target of $500. If you would like to donate to this very worthwhile cause, please visit our fundraising page at: https://tinyurl.com/ESStriders
