Offaly man calls on community to go all in against cancerBirr native Brendan Hanamy, an Irish Cancer Society volunteer driver, has called on the the local community to lend a helping hand in the fight against cancer on the Irish Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day, which takes place on Friday, March 20. Now, I’m a volunteer driver the last two years and I’ve completed nearly 40 drives.”The Offaly man described the role as “incredibly rewarding”. “Every euro raised on Daffodil Day is crucial and makes a real lasting difference, fuelling life-changing cancer research and vital support services. I would encourage everyone to please get out there on Daffodil Day and show support for those affected by cancer across Offaly and the midlands area.”Thanks to the generosity of the public, the Irish Cancer Society invests in cancer research and delivers crucial free support services for people affected by cancer, throughout Offaly. But this Daffodil Day, there is also determination, compassion and groundbreaking research driving real progress.
