My Story
Hello Everyone!
I am so excited to be running to support CWC this year! Cape Wellness has done so much for people I love, so I am so happy for this opportunity to give back. Since my mom founded the organization in 2014, I have been lucky enough to experience firsthand the impact CWC services have had on the lives of so many people facing cancer across Cape Cod. I decided to sign up to run because I wanted an opportunity to directly support CWC in my final months at home before leaving for my first year of college this fall.
Thank you for the support!

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.
