Ralph is a therapy dog who regularly visits cancer patients at The Alfred in Melbourne, helping to brighten their days. Last year Ralph completed the challenge not by abstaining from drinking alcohol (which of course he’s not allowed) but by giving up treats. In doing so he raised $3,823!

Work Begins on The Alfred’s Outdoor Courtyard |
The Alfred was a first time Dry July beneficiary in 2014 and one of their top ‘wish list’ projects was renovation of the outdoor area opposite the waiting room at William Buckland Radiotherapy Centre. The area was not suitable for patient use. There was very little space, no where to sit, and the types of trees caused a lot of leaf litter.
Using Dry July funds, work has commenced on transforming the space into an accessible, relaxing area for patients outside and in the fresh air, away from the busy hospital environment.
The area is being levelled out, trees removed and replaced, shade sails installed, and seating and tables installed.
