Her blood cancer is in remission and Marie Nicolle is helping out in the Cancer Society's Daffodil Month Pop-Up Shop in Whanganui.
She was feeling pretty good on Tuesday, the first open day for the shop. It's in Whanganui's Bridge Block and will be open and staffed by volunteers from 10am-4pm on weekdays during August.
It's selling donated goods and Cancer Society merchandise - and there will be daffodils to buy later in the month.
Goods can be dropped off at the shop. People needing transport for large items can ring the society, on 348 7402, for help.
Ms Nicolle will be at the shop when she feels well, and on Daffodil Day, August 25, she'll be collecting at Trafalgar Square.
