What will you do today to help beat cancer?

Hey guys! Today this post will talk about a most recent event I'm involved in: the Daffodil Day!

Cancer fact:

Have you guys ever realised...
that 1 in 3 women are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85;
and 1 in 2 men are diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85?
coz I just do.



What is Cancer Council?


Cancer Council NSW is a community funded, community focused cancer charity dedicated to the defeat of cancer. 
Through the development of prevention strategies, research into new treatments and cures, and by providing clinical and emotional support to those affected by cancer, we work towards realising our vision of a society where lives are not cut short by or their quality diminished by cancer. 
We have the broadest reach of any cancer organisation in New South Wales and have been a trusted cancer charity for more than 50 years.

Here is a short compiled facts about cancer from cancercouncil I find very interesting and boring-less! It presents facts and reasons why we should start preventing cancer today!!!

I see...so what is Daffodil Day?

Daffodil Day is one of Australia’s best known and most popular fundraising events. 
Each day more than 100 Australians will die of cancer
Daffodil Day raises funds for Cancer Council to continue its work in cancer research, providing patient support programs and prevention programs to all Australians. Daffodil Day helps grow hope for better treatments, hope for more survivors, hope for a cure.
To Cancer Council, the daffodil represents hope for a cancer-free future. You too, can help in the fight against cancer by participating in Daffodil Day. Daffodil Day merchandise is on sale throughout August, and you can donate to Daffodil Day at any time.
For more detailed information, or if you simply wish to witness some beautiful web design (not kidding)... care to drop by at https://www.daffodilday.com.au/ :p


So this year, I get myself registered to volunteer in one of their fundraising events here in Australia which is held next Friday, August the 24th! This will involve selling merchandise at Darling Harbour from 2pm-7pm.
Here is the list of merchandises I'm helping to sell!



I am so excited I can be indirectly involved to cure cancer or at least help raising public awareness of cancer issues :D oh well I hope I've raised your awareness if you care to read this far ;)





Ok I'm convinced! How can I help? :)

There several possible ways you can help. See, if there is a will, there's always a way ;)
But... the easiest one would be to raise awareness, starting from your closest people: Family, friends, boyfriend(s), girlfriend(s), teachers, colleagues...by sharing the videos to your social network pages, or more excitingly....wear Yellow on Daffodil Day!! 

You can also donate!
