Coles Gunnedah staff manned a merchandise stall in front of the supermarket, selling pens, teddy bears and badges.

Staff baked cakes to sell at the stand, and sold hotdogs to passers by to raise more funds for the Cancer Council, and bunches of fresh daffodils were walking out of the supermarket doors throughout the day.

A total of just over $1112 was raised for Daffodil Day at the Gunnedah event.

Every day in Australia, 350 people will hear the words “you have cancer” and approximately 118 people will lose their lives to the disease.

The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for all touched by cancer.

This year Daffodil Day aims to raise more than $9.7 million to continue the Cancer Council’s work in cancer research, providing patient support programs and prevention for all Australians.

“Daffodil Day helps grow hope for better treatments and more survivors,” organisers said.
