Morning tea in Ettalong

An Australia's Biggest Morning Tea event will be held in Ettalong on Thursday, May 27, in support of cancer research.

The owner of Surf Sun Sand Cafe in Ettalong, Ms Amanda Delalat, said she would donate profits from her business on the morning and encourage customers donations as part of the event hosted at the cafe.

"I lost my father to lung cancer 11 years ago," Ms Delalat said.

"Before losing my father to cancer, my uncle passed away from the disease too.

"I have always wanted to do something where I could help in some way and now I have the opportunity to do so on a regular basis and with the support of the local community.

"Cancer is not prejudiced and strikes anyone at any age.

"To fight this dreadful disease, more must be known and every dollar counts."

Ms Delalat said she was looking forward to hosting future events for cancer research and awareness including breast cancer awareness month and Movember.

She also thanked local businesses for their support in the event.

Discounted movie passes would be sold and a raffle for a trip to Europe will also raise money for the cause.
