I'm taking part in Dry July to raise funds for Mummy's Wish;
an incredible Australian charity that supports families when a mum is diagnosed with cancer.

As a mum myself, this cause feels deeply personal. I've also witnessed women close to me navigate the unimaginable reality of cancer while still trying to be everything their children need. Watching a mother carry the weight of treatment, uncertainty & fear, while still putting her children first, is something that stays with you forever.

Mummy's Wish understands that, when a mum is diagnosed with cancer, her greatest wish is often simply knowing her children are okay. They provide practical & emotional support to help families through diagnosis, treatment & beyond.

From recordable teddy bears so children can hear Mum's voice when they can't be together, to carefully chosen storybooks that help little ones understand what's happening, & practical assistance that gives mums more precious time with their children, they remind families they don't have to face this journey alone.

So for the month of July, I'll be going alcohol-free. It feels like such a small sacrifice compared to what so many families endure. If you're in a position to support my Dry July fundraiser, or simply share this incredible charity with others, I'd be so grateful.
