The Geelong Mother’s Day Classic has become a tradition for one Ocean Grove family.

Four generations of the family, ranging in age from 11 weeks to 85, participated in the annual run/walk event, which is aimed at raising money for breast cancer.

“I think we had the oldest and youngest in our four generations team in the local Mother’s Day classic in Geelong,” Donna Hunt said.

“The main reason we take part is to support a good cause. We have had family members and friends touched by breast cancer.

“We also love the tradition on Mother’s Day of all getting together.”

With the exception of baby Alexander, they all walked the four kilometre course, a fair effort for Bev and Geoff Soulsby aged 81 and 85 respectively.

Others to participate were Marissa, Nick, Sam and Olivia Munday.

After the walk, the family had some brunch together.

“We will continue this tradition for as long as we can – we love it.,” Donna said.
