Cancer affects us all.
There isn't a family in Ireland that hasn't felt the devastating impact of cancer. In our lifetime, it's predicted that 1 in 2 of us will be diagnosed with the disease.
That's why on Daffodil Day, we're standing together against cancer and pushing for a more hopeful future.
With only 5% of their income coming from the Government, the Irish Cancer Society urgently needs your support to keep going. Days like Daffodil Day help fund expert cancer nurses and groundbreaking researchers so we can provide support and drive progress against cancer.
What is Daffodil Day?
Cancer doesn’t discriminate. Every three minutes, someone in Ireland hears those three lifechanging words – ‘you’ve got cancer.'
On Daffodil Day, you turn Ireland yellow in support of everyone affected by cancer. The funds raised keep a range of vital services going to help care for people affected by cancer across the country.
That includes free counselling, lifts to treatment and providing expert nurses on the Irish Cancer Society's free support line.
By getting involved this Daffodil Day, you can help us stand against cancer.
Your support will also help fund families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis as the Irish Cancer Society continues to be there for every child and adult affected by cancer in Ireland.
With your support, the Irish Cancer society can continue researching better, kinder treatments and innovative detection methods. They can keep showing up when needed – whether it's a lift to treatment or providing palliative care at homes across Ireland.
They will not stop advocating for the Government to put the needs of cancer patients at the heart of policies that directly affect their care and their wellbeing during and after cancer.
On Daffodil Day, we give it our all to bring hope, to provide support, to drive progress and to stand together against cancer.
Last year with your support, more than 26,000 free lifts were funded to bring cancer patients to and from their treatment nationwide. You helped fund 6,000 nights of Night Nursing care, to allow cancer patients to die at home, surrounded by their loved ones.
Your support enabled more than 28,000 supportive and comforting conversations with people affected by cancer through the Irish Cancer Society Support Line and Daffodil Centres nationwide.
You allowed over 175 families to avail of the Irish Cancer Society Children’s Fund to help with the cost of a childhood cancer diagnosis.
Get involved us this Daffodil Day so we can continue to stand against cancer.
