FORMER Great British Bake Off finalist Kimberley Wilson is urging people in Evesham to get baking for the MS Society during May to raise vital funds for people living with multiple sclerosis.
Symptoms of the condition, which attacks the central nervous system, most commonly appear in the 20s and 30s, when families and careers are developing. They can include problems with mobility and balance, vision, dizziness and fatigue which come and go or get steadily worse.
This year the charity’s mouth-watering event is aiming to raise more than £300,000 and it’s happening on Friday, May 15.
Everyone that takes part will be in with a chance of winning a baking master class with the Bake Off star herself.
She said: "A close family member of mine has MS so I’ve witnessed the impact it can have on someone’s day to day life. It’s an unpredictable condition and it can be scary not to know how you’re going to feel from one day to the next.
"Cake Break is a fun and delicious way to raise money to support the work the MS Society does to help people living with the condition, and it’s a great reason to get a bunch of friends together and show off your baking skills."
To sign up for a free fundraising pack or for more information about Cake Break, visit cakebreak.org.uk or call 0845 481 1577, lines are open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
