Next Thursday, August 21 is Daffodil Day, the Cancer Council’s annual fundraising campaign. “With around 150,000 Australians tragically diagnosed with cancer each year, and almost one in two people heartbreakingly impacted by cancer during their lifetime, it’s vital we continue to invest in pioneering research,” Cancer Council head of fundraising, Lyrian Fleming-Parsley said. “For all that cancer takes, we encourage everyone to give all they can this Daffodil Day. Thanks to our amazing donors, we’ve made huge strides in cancer prevention, screening, and treatment over the past 37 years – but there’s still a long way to go. Cancer Council’s Daffodil Day brings Australians together for a special cause. Please dig deep again and help us make this year’s campaign the biggest yet – because every dollar helps save lives,” she said. People can donate online or buy a bunch of daffodils from pop-stalls across the country.
