My Story
Rather than naming my own (immediate) family members & (close family) friends that have been afflicted with this awful disease, wanted to share a bit about the background of Cape Wellness Collaborative.
It turns out, I never thought I was that much of a “history” person. The older I’m getting though, the more interested I am in “who’s who” and who had the foresight behind what. In this case, it is Sarah Swain.
After losing her own mother to cancer, she created this non-profit. The selfless, generous, creative passion for others, coupled with the logistics of piecing it all together with providers and clients alike…so that FREE integrative therapies can be delivered to people on the Cape-
Is something that I am proud to train, run, raise awareness & energy for!
Thank you Cape Wellness Collaborative for all that you do for our community. I am excited to sweat & run uphill for an amazing mission like yours.
Description
CWC provides free of charge integrative therapies, nutritious meals, and emotional support for people facing cancer on Cape Cod and their caregivers.
Integrative care includes massage, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage, yoga, art therapy and more. All of these modalities provide significant relief from the side effects of cancer and its treatment. Integrative care is not typically covered by insurance, which means many people cannot afford it while undergoing cancer treatment and facing a loss of work.
CWC partners directly with local practitioners who provide these services and we cover the cost.
Our model makes integrative care accessible: the practitioners are in your neighborhood, and the cost is covered. We serve over 600 people living with cancer each year. Our goal is to help people feel better, better tolerate treatment, and recover faster after treatment.
