Wirral West MP Stephen Hesford

With Macmillan's flagship fundraising event The World's Biggest Coffee Morning 2007 only three weeks away, Local MP Stephen Hesford joined the fundraising team at Arrowe Park Hospital on Wednesday 5th September, as they set up shop for the day in a bid to promote and support the event happening on Friday 28th September 2007, and to inform local potential Coffee Morning hosts of the prizes that they could win if they take part and register.

The Macmillan stall based in the entrance of the hospital, kindly donated to Macmillan's Wirral Fundraising team is manned several days throughout the year, enabling the team to promote Macmillan's information and services to the local community.  The fundraising team hope to raise £38,000 for the Wirral through the World's Biggest Coffee Morning. Marie Travers, Fundraising Manager is hoping that local people will really get behind the event and celebrate Macmillan Cancer Support and it's services. Marie said:

"I would like to thank Stephen Hesford for giving time to support Macmillan and The World's Biggest Coffee Morning. We hope that as many people as possible are able to take part in the event and help us to reach the £38,000 target for people affected by Cancer in Wirral. I look forward to letting Stephen know how lots of local people took part."

Stephen said:

"I am proud to support Macmillan Cancer Support's World's Biggest Coffee Morning 2007. The work Macmillan Cancer Support does within the local community is invaluable to many families and individuals who are affected by cancer. I hope as many people as possible on the Wirral are able to support this event and hold a Coffee morning on 28th September"
