Today is Daffodil Day....not only is it Daffodil Day
but this year is also the celebration of
25 years of Cancer Awareness,
Research and Fund-raising.
I think every person I know has been touched by Cancer in some way...Have you helped your mother through breast cancer?...maybe you lost an uncle to Prostate Cancer.....or do you have a child battling with Leukaemia......Do you have someone in your life who has had a melanoma removed? Maybe you yourself have suffered through Cancer.........
My Sister-In-Law is recovering from breast cancer...and has one last lot of radiation to go...then she plans to go back to work next month...She is a trooper..and I admire her strength every day.
I also have a cousin who has had many melanoma's removed from his face and arms...having skin grafts to replace most of the skin on his face now.....he too is a trooper to be admired.....
Not all cancer sufferers survive, and it is the fund-raising that provides much needed research into finding cures and medications for the future.
Below is the range of products selling to help raise funds......
This year's range includes our best-selling pens ($5), enamel pin ($5), diamante brooch ($10), cancer research donation card ($10), new office clips ($6), key rings ($7), football ($7), this year's collectable 'super-hero' Dougal Bear ($10), and of course bunches of fresh daffodils. Coles will be celebrating their 16th year of support for Daffodil Day with a variety of special products, including an exclusive limited edition Daffodil Day environmental bag, a new jute bag and the ever-popular fresh daffodils.
Join in today and help make the country yellow!
Daffodil Day has been on my mind also. Cancer has touched me and some members of my family the youngest was not even 21 - thankfully she has survived, so did I. It's a difficult topic for me to talk about.
