Former tennis player Annabel Croft and TV presenter Alice Beer are supporting CLIC
Sargent’s national fundraising event for mums to raise money for children and young
people with cancer.

Yummy Mummy Week 2008, launched this week, has raised more than £700,000 in the 
four years since it started. It runs this year from September 20 to 28 and is expected
to break the £1 million mark.

The campaign is once again being sponsored by the international financial services
organisation, Foresters.

Croft and Beer said: "As mums we know how difficult it can be to juggle everything
but if you find time to do one thing this September we’d urge you to make it a Yummy
Mummy event".

During the week mums will be hosting a variety of fundraising events, ranging from
coffee mornings and family BBQs to pampering nights.

The updated Yummy Mummy website enables mums to chat with other mums about their
Yummy Mummy Week events on a forum.

Merchandise available include skinny "I’m a Yummy Mummy" t-shirts in fuchsia or 
white as well as gifts for fathers, grandparents and children, who can wear a "I
have a Yummy Mummy" T-shirts.
