FEBRUARY 2006

Daffodil Day Launched

Tanaiste and Minister for Health and Children, Mary Harney, TD, has launched the Irish Cancer Society Daffodil Day 2006 campaign, on Thursday 16th February. This years Daffodil Day will take place on Friday 24th March, and the Society is calling on the public to support the day so that it can continue to grow its free patient care and specialist nursing services to people with cancer and their families all over Ireland. It is estimated that 21,500 people living in Ireland will develop cancer this year and approximately 718 of these cases will be in County Donegal.

Last year the Society raised €2.9 million from its Daffodil Day campaign.

The Irish Cancer Society is calling on the Irish public to support Daffodil Day, by 'buying a daff' by donating daffodils, holding a daffodil coffee morning or acting as a volunteer selling daffodils in the community or work place. For further information please call the Daffodil Day office on CallSave 1850 60 60 60.
