I have no doubt that every single one of us knows someone that has been affected by cancer.

Whether it be personally, a close friend or a relative. We have all been touched in one way or another, and we can all do something. Raising money for this destructive disease is something we should all get involved in. Research for this cause is very important, so it doesn’t matter how big or small your donation is, it’s the thought of getting involved. It can be as simple as buying a bunch of daffodils to support the cancer council or maybe you are thinking of having a morning tea to raise awareness and funds; there are a million and one things that can be done to help out.

What is Daffodil Day?

“ Daffodil Day is one of Australia’s best known and most popular fundraising events. Every year, supporters and volunteers come together in the community to sell daffodils, merchandise. You can show your support by wearing a daffodil pin this Daffodil Day, or by joining the fundraising efforts. Daffodil Day merchandise is on sale online throughout July and August, but you can donate to Daffodil Day at any time. “
