“Every morning tea makes a difference,” Sarah Royall at Cancer Council NSW Northern NSW office said.
“One Australian is diagnosed with cancer approximately every five minutes, the length of an average tea break. It is all about making your cuppa count.
“Every amount raised, big or small, can go a long way. $15 allows Cancer Council to provide easy-to-understand information on treatments, practical advice and emotional support to cancer patients and their families.
“$50 makes sure there’s a cancer nurse available on 13 11 20 to offer information and support to callers.
“This year, we’re celebrating the unique cancer support services that Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea helps fund each year, like Cancer Council’s new online community where people affected by cancer can share their experiences with others, our Transport to Treatment services, and our face to face Information and Support service located in treatment facilities. ” Ms Royall said.
