Why Amy goes Dry For July
Amy’s partner Jackson was diagnosed with leukaemia at just 24 years old.
With their European holiday just two weeks away, everything was put on hold when Jackson was diagnosed with leukaemia in May 2023. Amy decided to participate in Dry July while Jackson underwent his treatment, as a way to raise funds for others affected by cancer. “The support these Foundations are able to give is incredible – they can provide housing for people close to the hospital, they provide emotional support, and physical support… There is endless amounts of support”.

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.
Terry
Terry never thought he would need the support of a McGrath Breast Care Nurse until he received two diagnoses: prostate cancer and breast cancer.
Sue
After being diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time, Sue sought comfort and support in Cancer Council’s 13 11 20 Information and Support line.
Karen
Look Good Feel Better provided Karen with support and advice in a safe and non-judgmental space during her treatment for triple negative breast cancer.
Canteen
Dry July funds are helping Canteen support young cancer patients to stay connected to study or work, both during and after their cancer treatment.
