Join us on September 15, 2024 to walk the Thousand Islands Bridge in support of our cancer community!
Take part in our first annual walk across the Thousand Island Bridge to support the work of the Compassionate Care Foundation (CCF). This event is an opportunity to bring our community together to raise awareness and funds for complementary, integrative care for local cancer patients.
The Compassionate Care Foundation's mission is to provide cancer patients in northern New York with access to complementary, integrative therapies, comparable to those offered at leading cancer centers. This enables tri-county cancer patients to receive supportive therapies that help to improve quality of life by reducing anxiety and stress and support better outcomes. Supportive therapies include massage therapy, acupuncture, meditation, support groups, reiki, sound therapy and more.
Since June 2022, CCF has sponsored over 1,600 integrative sessions for cancer patients in our region. Access to these complementary therapies has changed lives and, with your support, we hope to extend our impact. In addition to sponsoring integrative therapies, the Compassionate Care Foundation provides educational resources and community through partnerships with local NNY cancer centers and nonprofits.
A day of inspiration and celebration, the walk across the TI Bridge brings together the cancer community all while raising funds to support the mission of the Compassionate Care Foundation. Help us Bridge the Gap and walk to honor someone going through cancer, in remembrance of a loved one, or simply to show your support.
