Thank you for taking on the Dry July challenge for Bowel Cancer Australia in 2026. We are pleased to announce we raised $185, 000 to support people affected by bowel cancer and are extremely grateful for your awareness and fundraising efforts.

By taking part in Dry July, you’re helping Bowel Cancer Australia to expand our specialist Bowel Care Nurse program.

The 100% community funded program enables people with bowel cancer to receive dedicated in-person clinical, psychosocial and emotional support from a specialist Bowel Care Nurse in the place where they are receiving treatment. Improving equity of access to personalised care and tailored support and allowing more people to access coordinated care closer to home. 

Despite being the fourth most diagnosed cancer, bowel cancer patients don’t receive the same level of support as other common cancers.

Bowel Cancer Australia’s specialist Bowel Care Nurse program is helping to address this gap, by funding in-person Bowel Care Nurses in hospitals and Cancer Centres across Australia.

Every bowel cancer patient deserves to have access to a dedicated Bowel Care Nurse.

On behalf of all the patients, their loved ones and staff at Bowel Cancer Australia, we would like to thank you for your support and contribution to making a positive difference in the lives of people living with bowel cancer.
