Dry July is on! Give your body a break from booze while raising funds to help cancer patients treated at one of Australia’s leading cancer treatment centres, Prince of Wales Hospital (POWH), Randwick.
Dry July challenges people to commit to a self-imposed ‘one month prohibition’ – one month without drinking alcohol while raising funds through sponsorship.
Founded in 2008 by three-heavy-drinking-guys who decided to pack in the grog for a month, get healthy and raise a few bucks to help cancer patients, with more than 1000 people signing up to go Dry in July, the campaign generated $257,283 to help cancer patients treated at Sydney’s Prince of Wales Hospital.
The Hospital will once again be the beneficiary of the funds raised by sponsorship from NSW. The Hospital treats 3000 cancer patients annually and provides more than 40,000 cancer treatments each year.
