Dear Newington Families

Please join team Newington for the Mothers Day Classic!  13 May 2018.

The Mothers day classic is an annual fun run/walk that raises funds and awareness for breast cancer research. The aim is to deliver a fun, healthy and inspirational event that brings the community together on Mothers day to support and remember those touched by breast cancer. Established in 1998, The MDC started from modest beginnings as a walk in the park and has grown into a major national community event.

In 2017, our family walked the 4 km walk event together and this year we would love to do this surrounded by a team from Newington Lindfield.  Newington encourages our boys to be engaged in community events and challenges our boys to develop a sense of community spirit and pride. It would be wonderful to support this worthy cause and to bring a sea of Black and White Newington Lindfield to this event. The walk itself is easy, enjoyable and very accessible to all levels of fitness and agility. Yes it does mean giving up your Mothers day breakfast in bed, but the sense of achievement and amazing atmosphere of the walk is so happy and positive it is well worth it.

The walk starts at 9am and leaves from the Domain. Walkers need to be gathered prior to the start, and the whole event is very well managed and arranged.

The walk takes approximately an hour – depending on your pace.

Please join us for this fantastic event and support our boys to make a difference.

Information and registration for the walk: www.mothersdayclassic.com.au

To join team Newington Lindfield, you will need to register for the walk. When registering, it will ask you to indicate if you are walking with a team. Select our team by name. Early bird registration is now open and tickets are available at a discounted rate. Remember your registration costs are supporting the fight against breast cancer. We will not be asking you to donate additional funds; it is simply your registration costs. Approximate costs are $40 for adults and $20 for children.

Our team name is: Newington Lindfield 2018

Our team password is: Newington Lindfield 2018

It is much easier to have your race number and details mailed to you before the day – this saves collecting your numbers on the morning of the event. Avoid the crowds and have this mailed directly to you.

So I can coordinate our team, please email me if you are planning to walk with us, or if you require additional information about the event or registration.

So celebrate Mothers Day with us, get some exercise and support our boys!

Regards

Susan James-Allan (Mum to Samuel, Year 1 and Benjamin, Year 5)
