Why does a daffodil represent cancer

Funds raised from people wearing the yellow flower pin provide care for people living with a terminal illness. Daffodil flowers begin to pop up when winter ends.

Daffodils are strong, resilient flowers that pop up year after year. Some people choose to plant daffodils in memory of their loved ones. This can bring reassurance and comfort. Some people choose to have daffodils at their wedding , particulary if it's a spring wedding.

The more daffodils worn with pride, the more families Marie Curie can help. Marie Curie provides care and support for people living with any terminal illness including cancer, dementia and heart disease. Our hospices offer specialist care around the clock. By donating and wearing your daffodil flower pin, you can make sure people living with a terminal illness like Sarah get expert palliative care at the end of their lives. The staff who cared for Charlotte were like family to us. Every time you stepped through that door there were smiles and hugs — even from the fellas.

There are many reasons why people choose to wear their daffodil. Many people wear the pins to celebrate the work of Marie Curie Nurses.

Other people may wear their daffodil in memory of a loved one, or because their family received support from Marie Curie. It will ensure help is there when it is needed the most by funding the most promising cancer research, providing a compassionate support system for people affected by cancer and shaping health policies to prevent cancer. They may have faced delays or disruptions to their life-saving cancer treatments, and they may be at a greater risk of more serious outcomes if they contract COVID due to compromised immune systems.
