My Story & Why I Do Daffodil Day

Hi everyone,

This is my story and why every year I get into my now iconic yellow suit to support Cancer Council WA’s Daffodil Day Appeal.

It starts in 2017 when my best mate, Steve found out the devastating news that he had stage 4 stomach and liver cancer and given 3 weeks to live.

It was news that totally shocked us and we couldn’t believe.  Steve was a multiple Ironman and only just a few weeks prior to receiving this news had completed another Ironman event in Busselton, hard to believe.

But in true Ironman spirit that Steve had, he fought a strong battle against the odds and had chemo treatments and was able to stay with us all for just over 12 months when he sadly lost his battle.

I miss my best mate very much, our friendship began when we first joined the Roysl Australian Navy as 16yr old boys and as WA country boys realised we knew each other from our country schools playing inter school footy against each other and instantly became good friends, a friendship that spanned over 37yrs and being best mates.

In 2017 when Steve was first diagnosed, Cancer Council WA was looking for volunteers for their Daffodil Day Appeal with the slogan “For Someone I Know” which was me so I became a volunteer. Steve was so proud of me and that Daffodil Day Appeal I was at Livingstone shopping centre and Steve so wanted to join me but was having chemo that morning and knowing how he felt after let me know he probably wasn’t going to be able to make it.

To my surprise he did make it.  I wasn’t aware and my daughter in law Megan was taking photos and saw Steve and his beloved wife Trish approaching and kept taking photos when I felt someone hug me from behind, I turned with no idea who it was and when I turned and saw Steve, we both had tears and also laughed at same time with how much it meant to us both.

This photo has been used quite often by Cancer Council WA with my story and why Ido Daffodil Day Appeal every year and in memory of my dearest and best friend.

Sadly enough I have also lost another 2 good mates to this horrible disease, Dane Alderson whom was also a mate of Steve's, we all joined Navy together in same intake and  Barry "Bazza" O'Neill a fellow Navy Cook, so I also do Daffodil Day in their memory.

This is my ninth year of being a Cancer Council WA Volunteer something that means a lot to me and even having the honour of being an Ambassador for Daffodil Day and every year I hear of people’s stories, sad from losing their beloved ones, thankful stories of loved ones surving this horrible disease and also of those who themselves have won their battle or going through their own battle and this is why I do what I do every year for all those in the hope that one day with all much needed funds raised for cancer research to help all Australians that one day we will find a cure.
