Hunter business owner Craig Ryan is once again set to deliver for Cancer Council as it gears up for Daffodil Day next week (August 31).
The Aramex regional franchisee and the local delivery crew will help Cancer Council ensure thousands of the spring flowers are delivered to the charity’s supporters for its annual fundraiser.
The opportunity to assist with Daffodil Day is especially poignant for Mr Ryan who lost two grandparents to cancer.
More recently, a 39-year-old family friend – mum to three little children – was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“Fortunately, she is doing quite well but it really brings it home to you that cancer can strike anywhere, at any time,” Mr Ryan said.
Aramex’s regional vice president (Oceania) Andy van der Velde said the company was absolutely delighted to once again partner with Cancer Council to deliver flowers for Daffodil Day.
“I urge everyone to get behind Daffodil Day and send a message of hope to everyone affected by cancer, or working hard to make it history,” Mr van der Velde said.
Cancer Council’s Daffodil Day site delivery lead Bobbie Crosland said it was hoped this year’s annual fundraiser would generate more than $2.5 million in donations.
“For all that cancer takes, give all you can this Daffodil Day,” Ms Crosland said.
“The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for everyone impacted by cancer.
“A big thank you to Aramex for supporting us in delivering our daffodils across NSW.
“Every dollar raised through Daffodil Day helps fund world-class cancer research, saving lives and bringing us closer to a cancer-free future.”
