I'm hosting a Soup for the Soul event because I want to raise awareness of Head and Neck Cancer and show support for those whose lives are effected and those who support them. The plan is to provide two soup options each Thursday night in July... watch this space for updates on how and where you can get your delicious soups!

My Updates

Blown away by the generosity of this community! We have raised $2000 for the great work of HANCA to provide support for people with Head and Neck Cancers & their clinicians & raise awareness of the symptoms. Thank you: Fiona for donating an amazing 2 hour massage for our raffle (+chopping up kilos of kumara); New England Brewing for allowing the use their fantastic venue; Beca Bakes for supplying delicious bread rolls & bagel crisps; Wendy 1-souper soup maker; & Angus, you fabulous man-love you!

Wow!! Another amazing night of generosity - thank you all so very much!!
This Thursday will be the last night for fresh soups: Spiced Sweet Potato (vegan) and Chinese Beef, Barley and Spinach... but there are some frozen serves looking for someone to love them... text me if you want a list of what is available.
Don't forget the exiting raffle to be drawn this week at 6.30! The most amazing prize-other than what you've done in support of this cause-is a 2 hour massage donated by Fiona Leece!!!
