Help For Heroes is a charity I feel such an affinity for.

You may – or may not – know that my husband is a serving soldier. He’s in the Army Air Corps and we’re very proud of him.

He’s been part of a few tours of Afghanistan and Iraq and, luckily, he’s managed to come home from each tour and in one piece.

Others have not been so lucky.

So, I’ve signed up to be part of the Help For Heroes Colossal Cake Sale (weblink on the side of my blog). Along with a few friends, we’re going to try to raise £500. A drop in the ocean compared to what some fund-raising events make but, as a major supermarket might say, ‘Every Little Helps’!

I’m going to bake and frost and raise as much cash as I possibly can to help this brilliant charity that I hope I never have the unfortunate circumstance to need.
