Our annual Dry July fundraiser is back, and we’d love you to be part of it. Every dollar raised helps fund our incredible Dream Makers, so they can continue making dreams come true.
About Dry July
Dry July is a nationwide fundraising challenge that invites people to give up alcohol for the month of July while raising vital funds to support those impacted by cancer.
This year, we’d love you to take on Dry July and choose to support Dreams2Live4. Every dollar raised will help bring hope, joy and lasting memories to adults living with metastatic cancer by ensuring the vital role of our Dream Makers are funded.
Start a team, get your workplace on board, or go solo. It's FREE to sign up!
By setting your goals and raising money this July, you’ll be supporting your own wellbeing while helping Dreams2Live4 create moments of happiness for adults with terminal cancer, when they’re needed most.
Have a special occasion in July & need a night off the challenge?
Ask for a golden ticket donation for a guilt-free night off the challenge.
Challenge yourself, raise a few dollars, and feel healthier, happier, and proud knowing you’re making a real difference.
When diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer, Dreams2Live4 helped make Georgia's dream come true.
Ballina mum Georgia was just 32 when she was living with advanced cancer. She had met her husband Matthew when they were only 16, and the two spent years falling in love and ‘dreaming’ together.
After receiving the diagnosis of Stage 4 bowel cancer, Georgia said;
“My dream is simply to slow down the days and spend quality one-on-one time with the man I adore and who has been my biggest cheerleader through life’s hurdles”.
Georgia also shared that she longed to “slow dance and giggle like we did when we were 16 years young”.
Dreams2Live4 helped make that dream possible — giving Georgia and Matthew time to “relax, recover and take a breath” away from the day-to-day realities of cancer.
Support Dreams2Live4 this Dry July
When adults are living with terminal cancer, everyday counts. Dreams2Live4 is an Australian charity dedicated to making dreams come true for adults facing this diagnosis.
Dreams aren’t extravagant - they’re heartfelt and human, like learning to sing, getting married, or enjoying precious time away with loved ones. Each dream is a reminder that life is still there to cherish.
The Dreams2Live4 Dream Makers, all trained nurses, build relationships with patients, providing inspiration and support as they plan and create their dreams. Our 2026 Dry July campaign will help us fund our Dream Makers, so we can continue providing this essential support.
With your help we can say yes to every dream request.
