My Story
Hi there, and thank you so much for visiting my Falmouth Road Race fundraising page in support of Cape Wellness Collaborative (CWC). Although I had heard of CWC, it wasn’t until recently that I learned first-hand what a remarkable organization it is.
My mother was diagnosed with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma this past Spring. I came across CWC during my research of local integrative therapies and services to consider in conjunction with standard cancer treatments. CWC did the work for me.
Cape Wellness Collaborative's mission is to help residents of Cape Cod and the Islands who are facing cancer feel better through integrative therapies, nourishing meals, and emotional support services. All CWC's holistic health services and programs (Wellness Care, Wellness Moves and Wellness Eats) are based on the latest scientific evidence.
The CWC team works with outstanding local wellness professionals to provide these services free-of-charge to those facing cancer on Cape Cod and the Islands.
Within a week, my mom was receiving healthy, nutritious, and delicious meals, prepared by a local restaurant and delivered straight to her home, and was reviewing the list of local providers offering various therapies, not covered under insurance.
If you have not done so already, please visit https://www.capewellness.org/ to learn more, and please consider donating to this amazing foundation. Approximately 2,100 people are diagnosed with cancer each year on Cape Cod, with this number increasing year over year. Every dollar you donate will go directly to CWC in support of their mission.
Thank you so much,
Liz
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.
Thank you to all who have donated so far!
