By Dry July on
We're very happy to welcome Jaynie Seal on board as a 2016 Dry July ambassador!
"I am absolutely honoured to be an ambassador for Dry July.
"Most of us like to have a drink – to celebrate, to relax, to have fun. While I do love a few reds, I also know that when I am in a 'non drinking' phase, I am so much more motivated, clear and present.
"Bring it on! I want to encourage as many of you as possible to take the challenge and raise money towards the wellbeing of our fellow Australians living with cancer"

Plus a portion of the ticket price directly benefits Dry July so it’s win/win.”
