It was Daffodil Day yesterday (Friday 27 August 2010). All through our trip I’ve had Dougal, one of ‘Daffodil Day’s’ ambassadors on the dash of our car. I’m a bit of a bear hoarder and it is for such a great cause, I’ve got everyone since he first appeared on the scene. Unfortunately, in some way we have all been touched by someone who has suffered from cancer and is a survivor or, no longer here with us. It is a great day to give hope and raise funds for such a terrible disease. It actually originated in Canada in the 1980’s. NSW Cancer Council then started in 1986. In 1992 it became an Australia-wide event. Hopefully it has the support of many for the years to come, and research one day finds a cure.
