In a far away country across the sea, my crazy English friend has decide to walk 26.2 miles to raise money for Breast Cancer Research.
26.2 miles is 42 kilometres and Douglas Adams fans all know that 42 is the answer.
Whatever 42 is, it is a bloody long way to walk.
You can go here to donate a dollar or two if you want. Barbara Southby is my friends name.
Closer to home and guaranteed to make you need to do a bit of a walk yourself, Bakers Delight are donating 100% of revenue from sales of pink finger buns to the Breast Cancer Network of Australia
In 2011 it is estimated that over 14,000 women in Australia will be diagnosed with breast cancer, affecting thousands of families and communities across the country.
Bakers Delight is passionate about supporting Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA), the national voice of women affected by breast cancer, raising more than $4.5 million over 11 years of partnership. And from 28 April – 18 May more than 613 bakeries across Australia will once again donate 100% of revenue from the sale of their Pink Finger Buns to BCNA.
You don’t have to walk a zillion miles to help raise money for Breast Cancer Research you just have to buy pink finger buns from any of the participating Bakers Delight stores. Easy peasy.
The closest Bakers delight to me here in the wilds of rural Tasmania is the Claremont store in the Claremont Village.
My favourite girls went in and iced pink buns and had heaps of fun.

A friend of mine is undertaking a similarly daunting task on the ‘Ride to Conquer Cancer” with QIMR …. and riding for 2 days through country Queensland in the middle of winter…. Brrrrrrr.
May their energy be high, their endurance long and their donations many!
I am laughing out loud at your brrr comment. The middle of a Queensland winter is the perfect temperature for me. And yes indeed, May their energy be high, their endurance long and their donations many!
Amy looks so cute!!
Did she get to eat a finger bun? Do they have gluten free ones?
I’m trying out my new laptop at no-one’s house, she’s just finished setting it up for me.
Harvey Norman had a 30% off sale, so I saved $300 by not waiting until tax refund time.
Amy is okay with gluten now. The manager of Bakers delight in Claremont (Tim) gave Von all the finger buns to take home as well as some bread rolls and a loaf of bread. Congratulations on your new laptop YAY
Should have come here first. Just mentioned in on SN. Glad to hear she’s doing fine with it! 🙂
Thank you!!! In just over 12 hours I will be setting off. Your thoughts will carry me!
I’m so glad to hear about Amy and the gluten – that is fab news.
