Give today so no one faces cancer alone.
A cancer diagnosis can wreak both an emotional and physical trauma, not only on the patient but also on their whānau and friends.
Record numbers of New Zealanders being diagnosed with cancer combined with an increase in service costs has led to The Cancer Society issuing an urgent call for help this Daffodil Day.
The Cancer Society relies on the generous support of the New Zealand public to support their free-of-charge services like accommodation, meals and transport to treatment for those facing cancer.
Please give generously this Daffodil Day, Friday 25 August and Saturday 26 August.
