For those who don’t know, today is Daffodil Day. This day is supported by Boots and is the Irish Cancer Society’s most important Daffodil Day ever. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Irish Cancer Society cannot host its traditional on-street collections and fundraising events. This has had a significant impact on their ability to raise much needed funds, with Daffodil Day 2020 earnings down by over €2million.

Mary Canavan told Andrea about her experience with cancer.
