Dry July - Day 23

Well, I'm nearly there and I have to say, it definitely got easier.  To the point I don't even think about having a beer or a wine anymore, even when I am out surrounded by friends who are enjoying a beverage, it truly doesn't worry me...  of course, we have the comedians who make a big deal of it and tease me mercilessly, but I guess it is all part and parcel of doing Dry July!

We've raised over $800 so far, with a week to go.  Oatley RSL have put a collection box on the bar, so hopefully there is a bit more to be collected before we get to the end of July.  If anyone out there would like to donate to such a great cause follow this link: Allégra - Dry July

 

I have to say the one thing that has surprised me since I started this campaign is people's reactions to finding out Dry July is to support adults living with cancer.  A lot of people's attitude is "if it was children we'd sponsor, but we won't sponsor you as it is for adults".

 

REALLY???????  I find that attitude bizarre - cancer is cancer people, it doesn't discriminate who it affects - you can be a baby, 42 or 65 or 90.  It can hit anyone, anytime.

 

Any who this is probably the last Dry July blog, thanks for reading, thank you for supporting us - see you again next year.
