Daffodil Day – Give what you can!

On 22 August 2024 it is the annual Daffodil Day for the Cancer Council to raise valuable funds for cancer research.

Cancer is a disease that touches everyone.  Every family will know and have experienced a family member going through cancer treatment.

For me it is a reflection on the end of my Father’s life, who unfortunately did not come out of the other side of treatment.

However, there is also uncles, aunts and cousins who have all been affected by this terrible disease.

The Cancer Council says that $25 can help equip researchers with essential lab equipment needed to conduct life saving research.  $30 enables the Cancer Council to collect and store gut microbiome DNA to use in their studies helping them to understand how they can better prevent cancer.  $50 can help pay for the collection and processing of a blood sample to enable researchers to discover more about how cancer develops.  $100 can help fund up to two hours of a research assistants time to work on research, $250 supports scholarships funding for a PHD research student, enabling them to gain experience in a lab and provide critical support to a research team.  $500 could support a clinical trial to test new cancer treatments, ensuring the best treatments are available to those who need them most.

I am running a raffle to raise funds for the Cancer Council.  It is a multi draw raffle with numerous prizes all donated by local businesses.  If you wish to buy tickets you can drop into Gatton Florist and Gifts or you can contact me on socials, email me on brock@lockyerpropertysales.com or call me 0407 363 844.
