Fastway Couriers franchisees from depots along Australia’s East Coast have delivered thousands of fresh daffodils to eager volunteers in support of the Cancer Council’s charity event, Daffodil Day.

Cancer Council NSW event marketing coordinator Felicity Winstone said teams from Fastway’s Gold Coast, Northern Rivers, Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Newcastle, Central Coast, Sydney and Wollongong franchises have donated their time and services to relieve the charity of the complex logistics involved in merchandise distribution.

“Daffodil Day, which is now in its 25th year, has grown to become the largest single charity event in the Southern Hemisphere. Sales of flowers and other merchandise on Daffodil Day help the Cancer Council continue to provide vital information and support to those affected by the disease, while paving the way toward a potential cure,” said Winstone.

“Fastway Couriers is helping us dedicate more funds directly to the fight against cancer by fulfilling a large percentage of the state’s flower deliveries.

CEO of Fastway Couriers Australia, Richard Thame, said “Our commitment involves distributing daffodils to sites and supporters in cities along the East Coast. With over 200 drops taking place in Sydney alone, it’s an enormous task — but ensuring deliveries arrive intact and on time is our speciality.”
