On Ward 7B, music therapy is often one of the few things that brings joy into long and difficult admissions. But right now, our dedicated music therapist only has capacity for two clinical days across 40 beds.
Our Dry July Ambassador Anna knows the power of music. “Music therapy helped me stay grounded. I even co-wrote a song with our therapist, John. But I didn’t have access to my guitar in hospital and I would’ve loved to keep playing in between visits.”
That’s why we’re raising $5,640 to buy 10 ukuleles and 8 ROLI smart keyboards. These can be used for self-directed music therapy, giving patients the ability to make music in their own time, even when they’re too unwell for scheduled sessions.
Go Dry this July or donate to bring more music into the lives of people living with cancer at the RMH.
