This is why I Dry July

Everyone has their reasons to go Dry in July.

For some, it’s better sleep, more energy and improved overall health. For others, it’s about making a difference and raising money for a cause close to their hearts. And for some people? It’s because cancer has touched their lives personally.

This is why we Dry July

There’s nothing more sobering than the reality of cancer.

Felicity's dad was 64 when her family found out that he had cancer, and George his mum was 69. For Desirae, her best friend Cath was diagnosed in her late 40s.

How your fundraising and donations make a difference

The funds raised through Dry July will provide invaluable services to cancer patients, their families and carers – whether it’s a lift to a life-saving appointment, guidance from a specialist nurse, connection to an informative voice, access to therapy programs or a bed close to treatment.

Everything we fund benefits the cancer patient and their families and carers. We aim to make a difficult time, a little easier for people affected by cancer.
