John Farnham's sons' heartfelt plea on Daffodil Day
John Farnham's sons have revealed more about their father's cancer journey in a heartfelt video, while making a plea to fans ahead of Daffodil Day.
Rob, 44, and James, 36, who are ambassadors this year for the day of cancer research, shared how hard their father's diagnosis was on him and his whole family.
"Our father was diagnosed with cancer two years ago," they said in the video posted to Instagram.
"The last couple of years have been difficult on our family."
"It started off as an ulcer inside his mouth and found out that it was cancer, it was a pretty brutal time for us all."
They concluded the video by asking people to donate money to cancer research this Daffodil Day.
"Our dad wouldn't be here without cancer research, and that's why days like Daffodil Day are important," they said of the fundraiser taking place on Thursday.
"This Daffodil Day for everything that cancer takes, please give."
When announcing their ambassador roles, Rob wrote, "As we've seen with our dad, a cancer diagnosis doesn't just impact the person, but everyone they know and love".
"We've seen firsthand how crucial cancer research and support is, and we are so grateful for the treatment and care Dad has been given.," he said.
John Farnham was diagnosed with cancer in 2022 and underwent a massive 13-hour operation on his jaw to remove the tumour.
In July last year, Farnham announced he'd been declared cancer free and given the "all clear" by his medical team.
