View this email in your browser Bowel Cancer Australia is excited to be a Major Beneficiary for the 2022 Dry July campaign! Sign up to the Dry July challenge and go alcohol-free for 31 days to help us raise funds for people affected by cancer. The good news is Dry July proceeds will benefit Bowel Cancer Australia, raising funds to expand the charity’s integrated Bowel Care Nurse pilot program, enabling more patients to receive dedicated support from a local Bowel Care Nurse.   Supporting our mission to have an everlasting impact where no Australian dies from bowel cancer and all those diagnosed receive the support they need.   We’d love you to sign up to the challenge and raise vital funds to provide practical and emotional support for people affected by bowel cancer. SIGN UP FOR DRY JULY NOW There is still a lot more work to be done Helping to raise funds and awareness of young-onset bowel cancer following Matt’s diagnosis in 2018, he and wife Amanda were passionate members of Bowel Cancer Australia's 2021 Dry July team.   “We all know someone who has been affected by cancer - when Matt was unexpectedly diagnosed with bowel cancer it was the shock of a lifetime. He fought hard and came out the other side healthy, strong and grateful,” said Amanda.   With the support of family, friends and colleagues, the pair participated in Dry July “to raise much needed funds for the great people at Bowel Cancer Australia who's work to date is no doubt a reason why I'm still here,” said Matt.   “But there is still a lot more work to be done with the number diagnoses growing year on year, particularly in young people,” Matt added. Please support Bowel Cancer Australia this Dry July and donate what you can to raise funds for people affected by bowel cancer. Every bowel cancer patient deserves to have access to a dedicated Bowel Care Nurse Despite being the third most diagnosed cancer, bowel cancer patients don’t receive the same level of support as other common cancers.   Bowel Cancer Australia’s telenursing, telenutrition, and integrated Bowel Care Nurse programs are addressing this gap, enabling equity of access to personalised care and tailored support nationwide.   Thanks to the fundraising efforts and donations received through Dry July last year, a grant from the Dry July Foundation meant we were able to increase the capacity of our Patient Services team, to meet the growing demand for these vital services. Bowel Cancer Australia’s 2022 Dry July team will be raising funds to expand the charity's integrated Bowel Care Nurse pilot program.   Supporting the employment of dedicated Bowel Care Nurses in regional communities across the country. Acting as a key point of contact for bowel cancer patients and their families as they navigate the health system in their local area – providing advice, education, support and direct patient care.
