It was his mum who first enlisted his help – she was one of the founding members of the committee in Waterford.

Now he is chairman of that committee and every year watches as Waterford turns into a blaze of yellow.

The good spirits of the volunteers and those who generously donate to Daffodil Day is something that inspires Des.

He said as a committee they are always looking to get younger people involved in Daffodil Day.

“It’s about the whole age span from the youth to the elderly, I mean as we all know cancer doesn't have any age limits,” he said.
