Macmillan Cancer Support is a charity close to MyDish.co.uk's heart and as such is urging all to offer their support this coming Friday for the Macmillan ‘Coffee Morning' event
Established in 1990, the Macmillan Cancer Support's ‘Coffee Morning' event quickly grew in popularity and soon became known as the ‘world's largest coffee morning'. Last year alone saw 43,000 people get involved in this great cause helping to raise over eight million pounds.
Cancer is still a huge health risk for the UK population with statistics showing 1 in 3 people suffering from the illness at some point in their lives. These individuals require financial, emotional and medical support which Macmillan attempts to address and provide.
It is for this reason and many others that the founder of MyDish.co.uk, Carol Savage, is a big supporter of the charity and will be baking her favourite recipes for the Coffee Morning this coming Friday. Donning the chef's hat and sourcing her favourite baking recipes, Carol will be baking her best cupcake recipes and selling them to support the Macmillan trust.
Asked about the Coffee Morning event Carol Savage said ‘Cancer is something that affects us all in some form or another. My Mother-in law Maureen died of Leukeimia and she inspired me with her recipes to start MyDish.co.uk. Cancer is a very real illness that is just too common and we should do what we can to help and offer support .A few cupcakes here and there is not much to ask'
Making even the smallest donation can still make a big difference. £25 alone can pay for the cost of a Macmillan nurse for an hour, helping to provide essential medical, practical and emotional support for cancer sufferers.
£51 can purchase a liquidiser for someone who can unfortunately no longer eat solid food as a result of their cancer treatment. These services and many like them are just some of the essentials cancer sufferers need and the Macmillan trust helps provide them.
If you need some recipe ideas this coming Friday then visit MyDish.co.uk. Home to thousands of good recipes, MyDish.co.uk has hundreds of baking recipes and cupcake recipes ensuring that everyone can find the perfect baking recipe for the Coffee Morning .
You can add your own suggestions if you feel the MyDish.co.uk com munity would benefit.
