Nearly 46,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. That's one person every 11 minutes. And just over 12,000 people die from it. Every year. Together, we can change that.

Breast Cancer Care has been running the Strawberry Tea Campaign since 1998. Last year £400,000 was raised with over 1,600 Strawberry Tea events taking place during the summer. You can find out more about the campaign and the charity on the Breast Cancer Care website: http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/get-involved/in-your-community/strawberry-tea-2010/ 

This year I thought it would be really wonderful if the food blogging community could get involved so am calling on food bloggers, the food industry and everyone with an interest in food and cooking. You can help by running your own Strawberry Tea, organising a group event or simply by donating.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
