Janet King, head of marketing, comments: “I’m blown away by how everyone’s joined in with our ongoing fundraising activities. I’d like to thank our customers, friends, families and – of course – our brilliant Saks teams for their continued contribution.” Athena Lamnisos, chief executive of The Eve Appeal adds: "The enthusiasm, commitment and support that everyone has given to prevent women’s cancers with life-saving research makes such a difference.
