My teammate Donncha wrote “today is Daffodil Day here in Ireland and in honour of the day I’m offering a daffodil header image to any blogger who’d like it.”
The 780×200 image, a photograph I assume he took, is gorgeous:
I love working with caring, passionate, dedicated people!
My friends causes are my own, so even with my mortgage looming, I made a small donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.
In the process I learned that the Canadian Cancer Society logo also is a daffodil.
And that the Canadian Cancer Society has a whole month of Daffodils Day’s with many of the daffodils coming from here, the garden city, Victoria, British Columbia.
The Canadian Cancer Society’s daffodil campaign began in Toronto in the 1950s. A group of Canadian Cancer Society volunteers organized a fundraising tea and decided to decorate the tables with daffodils. The bright, cheerful flowers created an atmosphere that seemed to radiate hope and faith that cancer could be beaten.
