What is the Daffodil Magazine?
You can read about the ways in which your incredible support helps us achieve our mission in the latest edition of The Daffodil. The magazine is published twice a year. Through research, patient care, prevention and early detection, Cancer Council Queensland continues to raise funds and help Queenslander's impacted by cancer.
On average, one person is diagnosed with cancer every 20 minutes in Queensland. All of us know someone who is affected. Show you care this New Year.
