Fighting the big C with Cake, Coffee and Comrades

Cake Stand - Marlborough School
Science Academy

Friday 25th Sept was MacMillan's "Biggest Coffee Morning".  

The bakers of the group donate the cakes, and the lucky friends and family get to sample the goods

and make a donation to the MacMillan cause.

LifestyleMK's Ashley Alymann putting the
finishing touches to his cupcakes

Lifestyle:MK's "How To guru", Ashley Alymann was at the front of the queue for his pack (he even does a little feature about it for the show next week!!)  

It's something that everyone can get involved in - and what a fantastic reason to eat cake!!

Ashley's spread in progress...

Everyone knows someone whose life has been affected by cancer (whether their own or someone they love), and sadly, success in treatment varies - so every little donated goes a long way in research, training nurses, as well as giving information, advice and support so that you never feel alone.

Loads of local organisations got involved this year - and while the Lifestyle Team were banging down Ashley's door, our mouths were watering at all the other fantastic events being held.

Marlborough School Science Academy

Marlborough School Science Academy in St Albans, Hertfordshire (also pictured) raised £245 from the staff.

Northamptonshire Healthcare (Newland House), Northampton  raised £60.

Milton Keynes College (Care Professions), Milton Keynes raised £150 from the students.

...and Ashley raised £180 (and is hoping the leftovers might raise a little more tomorrow!!)

Absolutely AMAZING work to all those who got involved, or are about to hold theirs (you don't HAVE to have it on the 25th!!)

Let's keep fighting the good fight together.
