Mitsui offices and Group Companies across Australia poured the coffee and laid out the cakes for this year’s Cancer Council's Biggest Morning Tea .

Together, they raised close to $1,000 to fund life-saving cancer research, advocacy, prevention and support programs.

Among them were, Human Resource Coordinator, Antonina Sinina who hosted Mitsui’s Melbourne office morning tea event.

"I believe it's up to us, as a community, to come together and support campaigns like Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, so there is more funding for cancer research and support for people who are going through cancer today and into the future," Antonina said.

“Around 130,000 Australians are diagnosed with cancer each year and this disease affects most of us directly or indirectly in our lifetime."

"This is why it's so important to host or donate to Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, to ensure Cancer Council can continue supporting all Aussie's touched by cancer," Antonina said.
