  This event wraps up September’s 🎗Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and all the activities the charity had for the month. While the month dedicated to Childhood Cancer Awareness is ending, there is plenty of work still left to do. MacMillan Cancer Support created a way to continue supporting children and their families dependent on their services, by encouraging the community to meet and share Coffee Mornings together throughout the year.

Pictures above are from Anne’s Instagram showing baked goods she prepared for the event.

What began in the 1990’s as an idea to host a small gathering to share coffee between friends and giving the cost of their cuppa to MacMillan Cancer Support, has now grown into a highly successful fundraiser for the charity. 2015’s coffee mornings total raised the sum of £25 million. This video, shared from MacMillan Cancer Support website explains how it works:

Anne has supported MacMillan Cancer Support for years, raising funds and bringing awareness to the charity’s work and services available for those needing help while battling cancer. (Our article about MacMillan Summer Lights describes more of the work Anne and her friends have been doing to give support.)
