Following on from the success of the 2022 Dry July campaign, Pancare Foundation were able to raise funds that directly fund the delivery of a national education program “Connecting for Hope: Upper Gastrointestinal Cancers and You” to facilitate improved awareness of upper GI cancers and increased connectedness and hope among the upper GI cancer community of patients, carers, families and local health professionals.

Furthermore, a proportion of the funding will also go toward expanding the Care Coordinator support offered by the PanSupport team for patients and carers.

The need for more specialist nurse, counsellor and care navigation for our patients has grown in the last year and Pancare Foundation are thrilled to have Dry July support us to provide assistance to those who need it.
