So far we\u2019ve had a very successful campaign and we could not do that without the many volunteers who made it happen. <\/p>\n<p>I asked a long-time volunteer what motivates her, she said \u201cMy son passed away at 36 years old, I sell daffodils for him\u201d.  Funds from this campaign support our local transportation program and fund world class research.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to recognize all the local businesses who opened their doors to our volunteers to make this a successful campaign. We would also like to make a special mention of Skelton Truck lines who generously stored and refrigerated our daffodils for the duration of the campaign.  <\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all our volunteers and donors. We hope that this year will bring many new discoveries in the fight against cancer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Reil, Manager<br \/>\nHolland River Unit<br \/>\nCanadian Cancer Society<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian Cancer Society Thanks donors and volunteers On April 1 to 30, over 400 local volunteers braved the cold and windy days for the Canadian Cancer Society.
