It was an early start for my family this morning.  We met at the Redcliffe Jetty at 5am with trestle tables, boxes of homebaked goodies and lots of enthusiasm.  We set up before the sun rose and had time to stop and watch this gorgeous sunrise.

Today was the morning of our annual bake stall for our Relay for Life team. Each year we participate in the Redcliffe Relay For Life, to raise money and fight back against cancer; a 16 hour relay to demonstrate our support for suffers and carers of this dreaded disease.  But before we get to the relay we fundraise.  And so begins the giant bakefest that precedes the McNutty Clan’s great Bake Stall

Just a small example of what part of my kitchen table looked like Saturday afternoon at 6pm

We were completely overwhelmed with the generosity of people who baked, bought and just helped out in the lead up to our bake stall.  Without these people we would not be able to raise the amount of money we do to give to the Cancer Council.

And after a beautiful day in the sunshine selling cookies, fudge, and cake pops; after selling literally hundreds of raffle tickets, chatting to so many generous people who were so willing to donate to such a worthy cause we managed to raise $942.  This money goes towards funding clinical trials, research as well as patient care and staffing a support line.

So the question I want to leave you with is…
