**Macmillan Cancer Relief’s major fundraising event, the “World’s Biggest Coffee
Morning”, is officially a World Record breaker.**

Macmillan’s flagship fundraising event had held the Guinness World Record since 
1996 for the ‘largest simultaneous party’. This record was smashed during 2002’s
event when 545,647 people attended over 26,000 coffee mornings all over the country.

The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning is in its 13th year and so far has raised more
than £20 million.
