Averil Power, CEO of the Irish Cancer Society, said, “We are so excited to be able to get out on the streets again to see the amazing support the people of Ireland show to anyone affected by cancer. Daffodil Day is such a special and hopeful day for our entire community.
“Throughout the pandemic we’ve been so lucky that people have found innovative ways to support us but we are looking forward to seeing Ireland turn yellow once again on March 25th.
“The pandemic showed us how we can achieve incredible things when we come together with a purpose.
“Now we must focus this effort on making sure we don’t go backwards on the progress made in saving lives from cancer.
“Daffodil Day is our most important fundraising event of the year and the money raised goes directly to funding crucial supports including our Support Line, free counselling, our Night Nurses to provide end of life care, and financial support for families of children affected by cancer.
“Along with these services, the money raised on Daffodil Day allows us to support life-changing cancer research.”
People are being asked to take part and take back from cancer in any way they can this Daffodil Day.
As well as donating and volunteering to help fundraise, you can buy items from the Daffodil Day online shop and take part in a steps challenge.
