With one Australian diagnosed with cancer around every five minutes – the same length as an average tea break – Aussies can make a difference with every mug by registering for this year’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.

This May, the Cancer Council is encouraging Aussies to gather with their friends, family and workmates for a cuppa to raise life-saving funds to fight cancer.

Since 1993, Australians have hosted tens of thousands of morning teas and raised over $200 million, helping to fund life-saving research and vital support for those affected by cancer.

Although Thursday, May 22, is the official date to host a morning tea supporting the Cancer Council – you can host as an individual, community group or business any time in May or June.

To get involved, register a morning tea today or donate at biggestmorningtea.com.au
