Sip & Support 2025: Join the Movement, Make a Difference
Mark your calendars and dust off your cake tins, Sip & Support 2025 is coming, and this year, it’s set to be the biggest and most meaningful one yet. I am thrilled to be hosting my annual charity event at the stunning James James Kitchens showroom in West Kirby. This is more than a coffee morning, it’s a powerful act of love, community, and support for families facing cancer.
Why It Matters
Every year, I raise vital funds (with your support) for two incredible charities:
💚 Macmillan Cancer Support
💛 North West Cancer Research
For me, this event is deeply personal. When my husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer and my mum with non-Hodgkin lymphoma brain lesions, it was a Macmillan nurse who helped guide my family through those darkest days. Her compassion, presence, and guidance were a lifeline, and I am determined to make sure other families get that same support.
“Without our Macmillan nurse, I don’t know how I would’ve made it through. That’s why I do this, so no one faces cancer alone.” - Maria Challis
