Walk for a cure in the Domain

For Mother’s Day we spent the day in the Domain with Craig’s family walking for a cure for breast cancer. Craig’s Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer at the start of this year.

Thankfuly, due to early diagnosis, they got it when it was really small and in the early stages. She was operated on and all is fine. She has to have chemo to ensure it won’t return. It’s knocking her around a bit as you would expect. She’s a bloody trooper though. So amazingly strong and positive about the whole situation. She just put her head down and said, “Right, let’s do what we have to do and get rid of this sucker.”

And she did.

It was a beautiful day in Sydney and spending the morning walking through the Domain was just wonderful. How beautiful is this city? I never grow tired of how pretty she is.

The kids had a fantastic time and they all made the 4km walk with us. Savannah had a ball and politely lined up next to the cupcake tin when it was all over awaiting her reward. We finished the day with a picnic in the Botanical Gardens.

It was a lovely Mother’s Day.

      She’s doing so well Beth. Thank you. Can’t wait for this chemo to be finished for her though. It knocks her around a bit.
