It has recently been proven that olive oil is helpful in the fight against cancer - so what better place to raise money for Cancer Research than at Casa del Sole - the most famous olive farm in the world!

1 in 3 of us will have some form of cancer in their lifetime.
Last week a friend of ours here in Italy (Geralamo from the restaurant Il Poderino, for those of you who have read about him in my book or know him from your visits) died of throat cancer. I have lost 2 close family mambers to this wicked desease. I know you will have lost someone too. It would be great if you would dedicate your donation to them.

Please help us to raise money to fight back in the name of everyone who has already been lost and for all the people who we might help save.
Please dig deep and sponsor us online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Here's what to do... Take a guess at how many individual olives Richard and I can pick in one day. When you sponsor us you automatically qualify to enter the "How many olives can Sarah & Richard pick on New Years Day" guess game. All you have to do is put the number of individual olives you think Richard and I will pick on New Years Day (and we promise to pick as many as humanly possible but remember -we pick by hand!) at the end of your message. I will send a cute little heart shaped bottle of our top grade organic olive oil to the 20 nearest guesses. The closest guess will get an exclusive Casa del Sole organic olive hamper stuffed full of Casa del Sole goodies. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.
