IT’S that time of the year again when the Cancer Council will hold their Daffodil Day to support Australians affected by cancer.
Your donation will be helping Cancer Council raise much-needed funds to support vital cancer research, develop cancer prevention programs and provide patient support for the tens of thousands of Australian lives affected by cancer.
There are lots of ways you can get involved with Daffodil Day, the simplest being to make a donation or purchase Daffodil Day merchandise during August.
The daffodil was chosen as the symbol of hope for all affected by cancer because of its reputation as a hardy annual flower, pushing its way through the frozen earth after a long winter to herald the return of spring, new life, vitality and growth.
As one of the first flowers of spring, the daffodil symbolises rebirth and new beginnings. To Cancer Council, the daffodil represents hope for a cancer-free future.
Most of us know someone affected by cancer. Every day, around 350 Australians are diagnosed with cancer. But every day there is more reason for hope than ever before. Cancer research is discovering new and better treatments; cancer prevention campaigns are working; and support for those affected by cancer is improving all the time. Every donation can help take us one step closer to beating cancer.
The money you donate will go towards Cancer Council’s vital cancer research, prevention programs and patient support for the many Australians affected by cancer.
Your support will help make a difference for cancer patients and their families all over Australia.
