As Dry July comes to an end, Greater Geelong residents are being reminded that it’s not too late to donate.
Dallas Byron has spent the last 25 years working within Cancer Services at Barwon Health and feels proud to be a part of the team supporting local patients and their families whilst they navigate a cancer journey.
As the Lung and Brain Cancer Nurse Consultant at Geelong’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre, Ms Byron provides invaluable support, education, and advice to those who are undergoing treatment and receiving care at the world-class cancer facility.
Because of this first-hand experience, Ms Byron was motivated to put her hand up to volunteer as a Barwon Health Foundation Dry July team ambassador. The nationwide campaign challenges participants to go alcohol-free for 31 days and seek donations for their efforts.
“Having worked in cancer services at Barwon Health for 25 years I get to see first-hand how the various services, supports, and comfort items, only possible because of funds raised from Dry July, directly impact patients and their families,” she said.
“It’s a focus on wellness, improving the patient experience in ways that don’t just focus on the treatment itself.
“I would encourage anyone who is in a position to donate to Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre’s Dry July campaign to do so, knowing the funds raised contribute to making a real difference
to our local community. This money is for our own family members, neighbours, friends or acquaintances who may require the support of Andrew Love now or in the future.”
