Cancer can be defeated!

Cancer is the second-leading cause of death all over the world costing 9.6 million precious lives each year. There are numerous types of cancer. And despite all the advancements in technology and science, unfortunately, the disease cannot always be combated. 

However, through early detection, prevention, and treatment, lives can be saved. Each year, around 3.7 million lives are saved because of this.

How did it all begin?

Let’s take a little tour into the past and see where it all began. Back in 1990, the first-ever Coffee Morning took place. At that time, no one would have thought how successful this event would later turn out to be.

It was a small affair. The idea was fairly simple; people would gather over a cup of coffee and the cost of their cuppa would simply go to Macmillan.

This turned out to be a huge success. So, next year, the event was hosted again. The results were promising. And just like that, it became a trend. To this day, over £275 Million have been raised.

Why is it done?

At the end of the day, it’s the little things that can go a long way. This simple little event is for all of us to take a break from our hectic lives and spend time with each other.

And your one cup of coffee can actually save someone’s life. Can you believe it?

Cancer has become so common that it may affect every one out of two people. Your cup of coffee can actually be lifesaving.

Besides, what is there to lose?

How can you help?

If you wish to play a role in saving lives, you can too. There are two ways you can help: as a host; as a participant.
