One in two Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age 85 – it’s a disease that doesn’t discriminate and stretches across all cultures and communities.
In NSW alone, around 36,600 people will be diagnosed with cancer and about 13,240 people will die from the disease this year.
The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for all touched by cancer.
Cancer Council NSW will spend $16 million this year towards vital research aimed at improving cancer treatments, prevention and care.
