Why Daffodils?
You may have noticed that this website and many publications, merchandise, banners etc to do with the Cancer Council WA have the daffodil somewhere in their design.
So why have we chosen the daffodil?
The daffodil has been recognised internationally as the symbol of hope for people in our community touched by cancer either directly or indirectly.
The daffodil heralds spring, the season of hope and the new life it brings. It also reminds us that there is life after a diagnosis of cancer. The daffodil is also the basis of one of the major events on the fundraising calendar, Daffodil Day.
