NOBLE Park-Keysborough Lions Club has helped Australia to step up its battle against cancer by raising funds for Daffodil Day.
Daffodil Day is the Cancer Council of Victoria’s biggest annual fundraising venture, and Lions from the Noble Park and Keysborough area were busy selling merchandise in Douglas Street, Noble Park, from Friday to Sunday.
Cancer Council’s chief executive officer, Professor Ian Olver, last week said Daffodil Day was helping to change people’s attitude towards cancer.
“People are now more open to talk about their health and seek advice, which can help in the prevention and early detection of cancer,” Mr Olver said.
“But, there is still much work to be done.
“We want people to give a Daffodil Day gift in memory of a loved one, to celebrate a survivor, or to simply give hope for a brighter future, and help The Cancer Council reach our fundraising target of $8 million.”
