Volunteers will be shaking buckets across the country today for Daffodil Day.
It's the first time it'll be held in person for three years but many volunteers can't take part because of covid 19.
People are being urged to buy daffodil pins to help the almost 45 thousand people diagnosed with cancer here each year.
Proud to be supporting Daffodil Day for @IrishCancerSoc which takes place today. Cancer takes so much from so many, but today we can help. To make a donation, visit https://t.co/nntUUyVGOX #DaffodilDay

Every Euro Counts
Irish Cancer Society CEO Averil Power is encouraging people to donate today:
"Daffodil day is the day we come together and take back from cancer."
"Giving people hope and raising vital funds for the Irish Cancer Society free nursing, counselling and transport services."
"We're really delighted for the first time in 3 years our volunteers are back out on the streets selling pins and taking cash or card donations."
"We're urging people to give what you can because every euro will make a difference to someone affected by cancer in the community."
