Money raised through Daffodil Day goes toward - research, support and education:
- Funding research to discover cause, possible cures and treatments for cancer

- Supporting cancer patients and their families with information about treatment and services
- Providing support services to people affected by cancer

While it may be too late to get involved in the Daffodil Day this year as a volunteer, you can contact The Cancer Council to help here.As the web site says, those with father, mother, siblings and friends are likely to have been impacted by cancer. Indeed, I know many who are impacted by cancer - family, relatives, friends and associates. How about you?
