"Cancer takes so much — from all of us. It takes from our friends, neighbours, colleagues, and our family. By giving this Daffodil Day, we can help stop cancer from taking so much. Consider giving for all the people who've been affected by a cancer diagnosis, whether that's you, or someone close to you. Giving money, a bunch of daffodils, your time, a hug, giving hope, that's what Daffodil Day is all about," Cancer Council Victoria's Head of Fundraising, Lyrian Fleming-Parsley says.

Proceeds from all flowers sold will go to support Cancer Council Victoria's life-saving work in the field of cancer research.
