Since 2015, the Dry July Foundation has contributed over $2 million dollars in funding to the Look Good Feel Better program. This has allowed us to help over 20,000 Australians undergoing cancer treatment.
How your participation in Dry July will help
One face-to-face workshop supporting 10 cancer patients costs over $1,000 to run, and providing one cancer patient with a Home-Delivered Confidence Kit and access to our virtual workshops costs over $100.
Every dollar you raise will help us get closer to our goal of raising $35,000 to provide the program to 350 cancer patients in the coming year.Â
Your generosity has a very real impact for our program participants, as witnessed by Rosi Fernandez, who is taking on Dry July in support of Look Good Feel Better for the 4th year running;
"Cancer impacted my life from a very young age. Sadly, both my mother and father passed away after a diagnosis – my mother died when she was 46 and I was 10, and my father when he was 56. This difficult period impacted me deeply and has been imprinted on my behaviour since. Because of this loss, I have always appreciated the everyday, along with being very grateful to be in good health.
I have been involved with Look Good Feel Better for decades now; first as a supporter during my time as a beauty department sales manager, and most recently in my role as Chair of the Cancer Patients Foundation, which is responsible for running the Look Good Feel Better program. Having attended workshops and spoken to many program participants, I feel reassured that every individual who attends a workshop feels better. The joy they feel during each workshop and that small moment of reprieve from their often-aggressive cancer treatment directly corelates with the healing process. The program has a rare and impressive strike rate, and is therefore one that I feel passionate about building support for and awareness of.
It is so rewarding to know that I, as an individual can make a difference, and I know that if everyone just gave a small amount towards helping others, we have the very real ability to make a significant improvement in the lives of so many people who are navigating such a challenging time."
