This July, thousands of New Zealanders will go alcohol-free for Dry July - but for breast cancer survivor Lisa McDonald, the cause is deeply personal. After facing aggressive treatment including bilateral mastectomy and chemotherapy, Lisa experienced firsthand how the Dry July-funded support services like "Look Good Feel Better" made her feel "a million bucks" during her darkest days.
Dry July NZ Campaign Director Veronica Shale reveals how the cause has raised over $11 million since 2012, supporting the 25,000+ New Zealanders diagnosed with cancer each year. This raw, honest conversation shows why sometimes the smallest acts of support create the biggest impact.
