Volunteers of the League Against Cancer – high school students from the gymnasium in Tomášikova street in Bratislava visited on 17th April 2009 the Presidential Palace. At the Day of Daffodils they were welcomed by the First LadyMrs. Silvia Gašparovičová. "I am glad that I can also get involved in public financial collections. For us a yellow daffodil is a symbol of spring. 13 years has been the yellow flower, which people put on their clothes, a symbol of hope, fellowship and assistance to all who struggle with cancer. This collection shows that people are aware of the prevalence and the severe consequences of this disease," said Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová.
At the Daffodils´ Day the League Against Cancer distributes through volunteers on the streets of Slovakia also leaflets. They highlight the need for prevention and avoiding risk factors that may affect the emergence of various types of malignancies. According to Mrs. Silvia Gašparovičová research in the fight against cancer is important. First lady hopes that by the united strength a change in access to cancer treatment and reducing the number of diseases will be reached. |
