It’s a symbol of hope: April is Daffodil Month for the Canadian Cancer Society.
The money raised through the sale of daffodil pins and flowers this month will go towards cancer research and support programs.
Co-ordinator Shayenne Herder says the goal is to raise $130,000 in Calgary for key services.
“Here in Calgary we have our volunteer driver program that helps patients get to and from their treatments, and we also have our financial assistance program for people outside of major city centres. So, they’re able to get to and from their treatments as well, and then we also have our research initiative so those take place throughout the country. We find the best research across Canada that has the best hope of helping us beat cancer.” she said.
