This year marks the 25th anniversary of Daffodil Day and to celebrate, the Cancer Council has brought together 25 people touched by the disease for a new campaign.
The 25 Faces of Hope campaign features Australians from all walks of life, including celebrities, survivors, volunteers, health professionals, researchers, and carers.
Though they come from different backgrounds, all 25 ambassadors have one thing in commons — their lives have been touched by cancer.
On Daffodil Day, this year held on Friday, August 26, these people will unite to turn landmarks around Australian yellow to give hope to the estimated 114,000 Australians who will be diagnosed this year alone.
Celebrity chef and Cancer Council ambassador, Callum Hann, is one of the 'faces' urging Australians to come together this Daffodil Day.
"After experiencing firsthand the effects of cancer on a family, I'm proud to support the work of Cancer Council," he said.
"Something as simple as buying a daffodil on Daffodil Day can raise much needed funds, for research, support and give hope to families going through a hard time."
Over the past 25 years, Daffodil Day has raised over $100 million for vital cancer research, prevention programs and support services such as the Cancer Council Helpline. This year Cancer Council aims to raise $9.5 million and needs your support.
