Through Dry July 2026, you helped Mummy’s Wish raise an incredible $50,000, which will provide practical and emotional support to mums with cancer and their children.

Mummy’s Wish Comfort Packs will be produced and distributed with support from the funds raised. Each pack includes a recordable Comfort Bear and age-appropriate storybooks to help children understand and cope with their mum’s cancer diagnosis and treatment.

These packs will help reduce anxiety, strengthen family resilience and give mums peace of mind so they can focus on what matters most — being a mum.

"Mums who have been diagnosed with cancer often tell us their biggest fears are about how they’ll tell their children, or whether their children will be OK.

That’s what makes the Mummy’s Wish program so special. As well as providing personalised cancer support and navigation for mums, our care packs include carefully chosen books and cuddly teddies with recordable hearts for children.

Fundraising through Dry July helps make this possible, reassuring mums that their little ones are getting the comfort and understanding they need when things can feel uncertain."
