Last month we participated in the MacMillan Coffee Morning, as we hosted a coffee and pastries morning at Roastology. Every penny we raised means Macmillan can help more people with cancer live life as fully as they can.
Local customers, offices and friends visited the roastery on the morning to sample our own hand roasted Roastology coffee, which tasted even better accompanied by pastries donated by our friends at Cawa Bakeries.
On the day we raised a total of £241 and have decided to increase the total donation to £500.
We are also delighted to be supporting another charity this year, which came about through Bryan and Toni meeting new friends whilst travelling in Japan. During their Rugby World Cup adventure in September, they met fellow Scotland rugby support Jo Williamson.
Over a few Kirin beers and laughs they got to know Jo’s story which has resulted in the donation to his very worthy cause.
Jo’s wife was diagnosed in 1993 with a very rare form of cancer, for which she fought bravely for 10 years until 2003 when she sadly passed away.
At that time, they did not know that the cancer could be passed on and after some testing, two of his youngest children have inherited their mother’s pheo-cancer gene.
Jo is now raising money to help his own charity Phae & Para Cancer Charity (SC048589) and we are delighted to be supporting him with a donation of £500.
