York is a champion for Macmillan Cancer Support
You may have noticed that in September the world went a little bit coffee morning crazy. Across the length and breadth of Britain, well-meaning and dedicated souls were organising coffee morning after coffee morning, big and small, to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. The campaign was dubbed the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning and this has become something of a tradition for the charity. Significant funds are raised during the campaign.
This year was no different. York has just published their results and they should hold their heads high in terms of the sums generated. It has been disclosed that the county raised almost £15,000 for the good cause. It is said that the money is not all in yet either – more is to come. Estimates suggest that this could amount to a further £3,500.
According to the reports, almost 120 coffee mornings took place on the 30 September.
The cancer charity is, it would appear, close to many people’s hearts. There are not many people whose lives have been untouched by cancer and the charity aims to give support to those in their hour of need, together with those loved ones who are also affected. There are endless accounts of the value of this service from Macmillan Cancer Support – and many of those who have benefitted from this kind of help are motivated to go on and raise funds for the organisation to help others also benefit in this way in the future.
