One of the largest Biggest Morning Teas in the MidCoast area, the Myall River Big4 Holiday Park event saw 74 eager visitors munching on a delicious home-made morning tea prepared by 85-year-old Yvonne Skeffington.

In addition to the mouth-watering food on offer and a chance to catch up with friends, there were raffles with the prizes kindly donated by local businesses.

The event raised $2700 which included some substantial donations from businesses.

The organisers thank the generous donations of the venue, businesses and individuals who all gave their time and goods freely to help make this event the success it was.

One in two Australians are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85.

“Everybody knows someone who has had cancer or been affected by it,” said local coordinator Debbie Barton.

“The funds raised from morning tea events will help bring our society closer to a cancer free future.”
