Fresh flowers truly do bring a smile to your face, but on August 27 purchasing some ‘fresh daff’s’ is about more than making someone smile.
Proceeds raised through this annual event go towards cancer research, prevention and early detection programs as well as support services for cancer patients and their families.
My friend Shannan survived her first Daffodil Day as Regional Fundraising Co-ordinator for the Gold Coast office of Cancer Council Queensland. We, along with Shan’s hubby Pete (and dozens of other volunteers), were out in local shopping centres selling the fresh flowers.
As well as hearing many stories about people’s experiences with cancer, we got to share in parents explaining to little ones what the day and the fresh blooms were all about. Education – without having to sit in a classroom!
