You're Invited!

I've decided to host a virtual coffee morning!

Many of you in the UK will already know that next Friday, the 28th September, Macmillan Cancer Support are holding their Worlds Biggest Coffee Morning. The World's Biggest Coffee Morning is Macmillan Cancer Support's biggest fundraising event.  Find out more here. I am helping at a 'real' event at school and will be adding my own donations  but I thought I could maybe raise a little more money and promote awareness of this wonderful charity by hosting my own virtual event.

I imagine there are very few people who have not been affected by cancer in some way. It can strike anytime anywhere. Macmillan offer an invaluable service, supporting and offering care and advice to patients, family and friends.

So, my plan is to post next Friday probably sharing a little of my experiences along the way. Anyone who would like to visit and leave a comment would be more than welcome. Maybe you would like to post a dedication or memory on your own blog and leave a link in the comments here so we can share our stories. Sadly I can't offer real coffee and cake but there will be a selection of virtual products to enjoy and it has the added benefit of far less calories!

Hopefully see some of your next Friday.

  3. That's very good of you to host this event. As a cancer survivor who also lost my mother to cancer, that is a cause that is very dear to me.

    1. I just wanted to be able to spread the word, cancer charities are close to my heart. I am so sorry you lost your mother to cancer and I didn't know you are one of the survivors I appreciate why it is a cause dear to you too.

  6. Sounds like a wonderful idea. I have a few beloved friends whom I've lost to this terrible disease.

    I'd like to host a coffee morning for Alzheimer's sometime too, another terrible disease.
