TWO reasons to support Daffodil Day

Most of us have stories about people we love and cancer. Someone who's got through and is in remission, someone who's in the midst of their own personal battle, or someone dear that we have lost. 
The courage of the sufferer and the amazing medical treatment and support that they get always stand out.
Please help the Irish Cancer Society Daffodil Day to bring hope, provide support and drive progress.
 
I have a second reason to ask for your support this year. My beloved Mum sadly passed away suddenly last September. With a gang of her friends, she supported Daffodil Day over three decades through bake sales, collections and donations. Between 2010 and 2019 alone, they raised over €200,000. So, I'm having a go at carrying her torch on, and keeping her memory and spirit of kindness alive.

Thank you,
David
