Daffodil Day FRIDAY 27 AUGUST 2021
Cancer doesn’t stop so we don’t either
Cancer doesn’t stop - so don’t stop giving Cancer doesn’t take a break in the midst of a global pandemic or a nationwide lockdown. Thankfully, neither does the Wairarapa Centre of the Cancer Society - nor the generosity and goodwill of the wider Wairarapa Community. The Wairarapa Centre, along with its enthusiastic team of volunteers and business sponsors, is gearing up for the 2021 Da˜ odil Day appeal, which kicks o˜ this Friday. However, the community has many opportunities to support the Cancer Society throughout this week: whether you’re making a contactless payment via a da˜ odil-shaped QR code, or donating to a local school or
Last year, ANZ – the major sponsor for Da˜ odil Day – created the Digital Da˜ odil: a QR code, which allows people to make a donation using their smartphone.
business fundraiser online. Since it began in 1990, Da˜ odil Day has grown into an iconic Kiwi celebration: with over 11,000 collectors taking part each year, and close to $4 million raised nationwide. This funding goes towards the Cancer Society’s support services for people with cancer, and ground-breaking research into cancer treatments (see more on page 5). As the Society receives no government funding, the Society is heavily reliant on public donations to make all of this possible. Research by the Society has conÿ rmed that the number of New Zealanders a˜ ected by cancer has doubled in the past 30 years – and is set to double again by 2040.
A diagnosis of breast cancer didn’t stop Wairarapa local Natasha de la Haye from living her best life.
The Digital Da˜ odil is back again in 2021 – displayed on Cancer Society posters throughout Masterton CBD. Therefore, the Society is calling for “double the [fundraising] e˜ orts” nationwide. This year, after the success of contactless donations in 2020, the public is still able to o˜ er its support digitally – making an online donation through the Da˜ odil Day website (www.da˜ odilday.org.nz), or via ANZ (anz.co.nz).
QR codes will also be available at the Wairarapa Centre’s pop-up shop at 98 Queen Street (next to Trade Aid), which will open once we are back to Level 2. At the pop-up shop, people can purchase classic Da˜ odil Day merchandise, such as silk da˜ odils, da˜ odil lapel pins, pens and teddy bears, as well as fresh da˜ odils.
I was so lucky to meet a sisterhood of women who shared their experiences and exceptional attitudes with me during treatment. Their support helped me realise that cancer cannot stop me from living my best life”.
Cancer doesn’t stop because you’re young, feeling invincible and at the beginning of this marvellous adventure called life.

Cancer doesn’t stop because you’re away from home, seeking out new opportunities. Cancer doesn’t stop because you have tickets to the opening of a long-awaited West End show.

Cancer doesn’t stop so you can accept a promotion. Cancer doesn’t stop so you can go to your best friend’s wedding. Cancer doesn’t stop – full stop. I know this because I was 24 years old, and living my best life on my OE in London, when I was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer. The bad news type - where the tumour tends to grow more aggressively. Knowing that cancer costs -

My treatment included invasive breast surgery, chemotherapy and 12 months of Herceptin – a trial drug which, in combination with chemo, was going to improve my overall survival. Those 12 months were tough. I felt my whole identity was challenged with the consequences of surgery and hair loss from chemo.

Nearly 10 years later, I am grateful and privileged to be part of the next ‘sisterhood’, and to provide care, support, advice and hope to others. While cancer doesn’t stop, I’ve witnessed that love and support from family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, and cancer support agencies doesn’t stop either. And I realised that I don’t have to stop. Cancer has not stopped me from becoming a mum to my adorable daughter. Cancer has not stopped my successful career in real estate. Cancer has not stopped me from pursuing my dreams and embracing adversity. My message for young women is that cancer doesn’t stop because you’re “too young”. But you can be the di˜ erentiator to your cancer success. Be your own best advocate, align yourself to organisations that can support you - and don’t stop!
