The Pavlova + Prosecco Morning Tea is inspired by the gorgeous Emma Betts (<A HREF="http://www.dearmelanoma.com" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dear Melanoma</A>) a wonderful friend of S&S, whose love of pavlova is known the world over (the prosecco bit is my great love!).

You'll learn more about Melanoma, how to look for it, what to do if you find it and how to do your best to prevent it too. 
Emma has Stage 4 melanoma, is just 25 years old and she is dying. All treatment options have been exhausted. It's excruciatingly sad and wrong. Her big sisters have set up a fund for her and her amazing husband Serge, called <A HREF="https://www.mycause.com.au/page/144596/love-for-emma" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Love for Emma</A>. Money raised through this registered fund will help with Emma's paliative care and to help Serge. 
 I knew very little about this horrid disease until I started chatting with Emma. She taught me more about it and the importance of raising money for research...the best way to get rid of this cancer and to help those who have it live longer. She has raised a impressive $100,000 for melanoma research and has been an ambassador for the <A HREF="https://www.melanoma.org.au/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Melanoma Institute</A> educating kids in schools and others about this cancer. 
On this day, we are splitting the $'s raised 50:50. Some for Emma and some for the Melanoma Institute. We'll be donating money raised to the Melanoma Institute Australia through supporting Jay (himself diagnosed with melanoma 8 years ago) and his <A HREF="https://thelongestmelanomamarch.gofundraise.com.au/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Longest Melanoma March</A>.
It's a chance to gather with friends, sip on a glass of bubbles and stuff yourself with luscious pav as you help raise money for <A HREF="https://www.mycause.com.au/page/144596/love-for-emma" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Love For Emma</A> and <A HREF="https://www.melanoma.org.au/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Melanoma Institute</A>.
We are trying to hit $1000 with our efforts in March. This morning tea is just one initiative. 
Tickets are $18 + GST to attend on the verandah of our new HQ at 60 Frasers Rd, Ashgrove. Sadly we are maxed out for space at 20. But, if you miss out or can't attend, you can always donate right here. Buy a 'wish I was there' ticket  for the amount of your choice. 
If you'd like to donate directly to the Melanoma Institute, you can do so <A HREF="https://melanomamarch2017.gofundraise.com.au/page/AnitaMcLachlan0" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</A> via our team page. Money there will go to Jay's The Longest Melanoma March to help him reach his target, which inturn goes to the Melanoma Institute 100%.
