Daffodil Day

On the 25th of August, a bake sale was held to fundraise for the Daffodil Day appeal. The Daffodil Day appeal is a fundraiser held by the Cancer Council to not only raise awareness about the effects of cancer but also provide an opportunity for Australians to come together and raise funds for cancer research and change the lives of those who are affected by cancer.

I made Daffodil Day a priority to raise funds due to my own experience, as my dad passed from cancer this year. I wish that we could have had way more time with him. Hopefully, through kind actions, raising awareness and funds towards research, more can be found to help others, so no one else has to lose their favourite person like me and my family did.

Cancer not only affects those who are diagnosed but also affects the family and friends that surround those people who have cancer. The endless worries leave families feeling hopeless in such uncontrollable situations. Cancer is a tricky disease that can spread fast. It is essential that through fundraisers such as Daffodil day, awareness is spread and opportunities are provided for people to give for a cause that could save a life, as well as allow people to spend way more time with their loved ones.

The Senior Campus raised $186 in donations for the Cancer Council as part of the St Andrews College Daffodil Day Appeal. Thank you to all those who donated to this important cause.
