Louth locals urging community to 'Go all in against cancer this Daffodil Day'

Locals across Louth are urging their community to turn daffodil yellow on Daffodil Day March 20th and go all in to raise vital funds and give hope to cancer patients.  

Edel Shovlin, Acting CEO, Irish Cancer Society said: “This year alone, it’s estimated that 44,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer in Ireland. There isn’t a family that hasn’t felt the devastating impact of a cancer diagnosis. But no matter what cancer brings, the Irish Cancer Society is here to help. 

“All of our essential services, like free counselling, Daffodil Centres, Night Nursing, and patient travel are fuelled by fundraising. It’s also thanks to the generosity of the public that we can fund groundbreaking cancer research to help develop kinder, gentler treatments, with the aim of achieving our ambition of a future where no one dies from cancer. 

“The more we raise on Daffodil Day, the more we can do. The more help we can give to children and adults going through cancer, the more lifesaving research we can fund, and the sooner we can ensure all cancer survivors have the support they need to live life to the full. We're all in because you are. Join us this Daffodil Day and help us do more.”
