Regularly getting to and from The Alfred can be a challenge for patients in the best of situations - for many, it is extremely difficult without help. Donations for Dry July go towards funding a vital transport service to help patients receive the best possible care.

It was a pleasure to speak with Jacquie to hear her story. And what a story it is!
For the past 5 years Jacquie, now aged 70, has been sailing around the world on her boat. Her boat’s name is Shanti, which means peace, tranquility, bliss & the ability to rise above stress and adversity. As Jacquie says “kind of sums up my circumnavigation as well as my current journey with Leukaemia.”
