The couple moved from the Mornington Peninsula to the Border three years ago to be closer to family, and took part in the annual fundraiser for the first time last year.

They also volunteer three days during the week for the Cancer Council, an activity that Mr Buckley said stemmed from his wife’s recovery.

“We sat up many nights talking and said that when it was gone, we’d do something to give back,” he said.

Mrs Buckley was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and underwent chemotherapy, surgery and radiation in Frankston.

At last year’s Daffodil Day, she had many conversations with people who were dedicating their daffodils to loved ones.

“It was a good day,” Mrs Buckley said.

“At the Cancer Centre, we talk to people about everyday things – not so much their treatment – but swapping stories.

“We’re able to tell them what facilities are on offer and also give out information from the Cancer Council.”

Finding out just what is provided by the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre, and the Wellness Centre, impressed Mr Buckley when they started on in their role.

“At Frankston they were amazing, but we didn’t have this sort of facility, or we didn’t know about it, so we tell as many people as we can about it,” he said.

The Buckleys, who celebrate 50 years of marriage next year, will be at the Terry White Pharmacy on Dean Street on Friday.

Other participating sites in Albury this year include the hospital, Bunnings, the Lavington, West End, and Myer shopping complexes, and Thurgoona Woolworths.

This year people can also ‘dedicate a daffodil’ online at daffodilday.com.au, by creating a personalised video.

This Daffodil Day, Cancer Council NSW hopes to raise over $1 million, with $15 million invested into research annually.
