This is the first time Lymphoma Australia has taken part in Dry July, and we’re doing it for a powerful reason.

Every day in Australia, more than 20 people are diagnosed with lymphoma. Each diagnosis brings shock, uncertainty and a flood of questions.

With over 100 different subtypes of lymphoma, navigating this disease can be incredibly complex. That’s why our Specialist Lymphoma Care Nurses, like Liz, are so vital.

Liz answers calls every day from people who are scared and overwhelmed. Through our free 1800 Lymphoma Nurse Support Line, she helps patients and their families make sense of what a diagnosis means, what treatment options are available and how to take the next step forward.

“I often hear people say, ‘I don’t know what I would’ve done without you,’” Liz shares. “Whether it’s explaining treatments, helping them prepare for appointments, or just listening, I want every person to feel they’re not facing this alone.”

Our nurses are a trusted voice, a steady presence and a lifeline through one of the most overwhelming times in a person’s life.

But right now, there are simply not enough nurses to meet the growing demand.

Funds raised through Dry July will help us change that. With your support, we can fund another nurse to join our team and reach more people facing lymphoma across the country.

This is more than just fundraising. It’s about making sure every person diagnosed with lymphoma has someone like Liz in their corner from day one.
