Fighting Cancer with Cake: Charlie's Angels Pink Ribbon Breakfast



By Jane Comben

The Charlie's Angels new challenge has been decided.

What with winter drawing in and the fact we haven't found a physical challenge we can all agree on (I'm not keen on a swimming leg of Lake Taupo), we're hosting a Pink Ribbon Breakfast. Well, It's a morning tea but let's not get pedantic. One of our neighbour's is currently battling breast cancer so we thought we'd show our support.

So this week, we're doing our bit in our lovely school's hall and showing "The Big C" that there's some other pretty powerful "C" words.


Community: A strong community looks out for each other. How people acted after the Christchurch earthquakes is a testament to that.

Caring: Sometimes the smallest thing can make a big difference.

Confidence: "Getting out of the comfort zone doesn’t mean extreme sports or stepping onto a stage. Sometimes it can be as seemingly small as saying no – or trying a yoga class" (Christine Kane).
Growth = confidence and confidence = power.

Contribution: We've put together some great giveaways. Our thanks to local sponsors Havana Coffee, Cupcake Sweetie, Nada Bakery, Nyco Chocolates, Genevieve Flowers, Reds and Le Mer Day Spa.

Courage: The courage of those fighting cancer inspires the rest of us to appreciate what we've got and to live our lives more fully, NOW.

Children: We need to do what we want our kids to learn.

Create: Just do it! Having a go is better than not trying at all.

Cake: Let's face it, everything is better with cake!
