Put your spare drinking hand to good use this July and sign up to the challenge of a month off the booze! Your month long abstinence will not only make you healthier and wealthier, but will make a difference to the lives of adult cancer patients at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

The innovative fundraising initiative Dry July is now in its third year with over $1.2 million directly benefiting adult cancer patients nationally in 2009 through improvements to oncology ward environments and equipment.

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s Oncology Ward is receiving over $54,000 worth of upgrades and additions thanks to the dry efforts of almost 300 South Australians last year.

With new features of the campaign such as the Designated Dryver™ activity, the ‘Head to Head’ challenge which allows you to create a competitions between you and your mates, plus the existing ‘Golden Ticket’ feature (visit www.dryjuly.com for more details), this year is set to be bigger and better than the last!

If you think you have what it takes to make a difference, register online at www.dryjuly.com and start raising sponsorship for your brave dry efforts!

PS Look for photos of the Oncology Department upgrades made with last years funds in the next edition of our newsletter!
