Thousands of daffodils have arrived in Auckland for the Cancer Society's 18th annual Daffodil Day appeal on Friday.

Volunteers will be on city streets to help the society support cancer sufferers and their families. Money raised in the appeal also supports scientific research.

Volunteer Cristina Magni was yesterday helping to sort some of the 70,000 daffodils grown in Huapai.

Today more volunteers will begin distributing daffodils to businesses and individuals who have bought them.

Visit www.daffodilday.org.nz to make an online donation, or phone (0900) 31-111 to make an instant $20 donation.
