Is there any reason why the Cancer Council uses daffodils?

Question

We had daffodil day last week which was a fund-raising day for the cancer council. I was wondering whether there was any significance of the daffodils? Is there any particular reason why they chose them?

Answer 1

One of the first flowers of spring, the daffodil is a symbol of hope. It represents the hope we all share for a future where cancer is no longer a life-threatening disease.
