Gather some friends!

Marilyn is a Daffodil Day Dipper because she knows many people impacted by cancer. She had fun with friends, Dipping early in the morning at the beach, but you can Dip anywhere and anytime you like. Marilyn also kept the fundraising easy - she simply used good old-fashioned word of mouth, and posted plenty of pics of her Dips on Facebook. 

Will you join our community of Dippers and help raise funds for cancer research?

Why your dip matters:
Hannah’s story

Hannah was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in 2025 at 39 years old. What followed were biopsies, surgery and chemotherapy she didn’t think she was strong enough to face.

But thanks to her community, who carried her through it every step of the way, she found light in something unimaginably dark and moved through it with strength she didn’t know she had.

During one of her final chemotherapy sessions, she decided to take part in the Daffodil Day Dip and created her team, The Plungers, as a way to honour her cancer journey and the loved ones we’ve lost along the way.

Hannah says:

"The Daffodil Day Dip became my way of saying thank you. It was a celebration of healing, of freedom and of the science that saves lives."
