SolarisCare Red Sky Ride
-
Next Destination has provided Red Sky Ride with a Spot Satellite Messenger to track participants progress.
The Red Sky Ride is a way for ordinary people to achieve something extraordinary - a ride that exists to make a difference to those diagnosed with cancer or caring for someone with cancer.
Twenty-two riders, a large support team, and multitudes of sponsors will all contribute to achieving the extraordinary – they will broaden the access to support services that achieve a reduction in pain, and a big improvement in sense of well being, whilst undergoing treatment for cancer, be it chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery. They will promote awareness of a service that provides support and touch therapies to the carers of people with cancer, the very people that shoulder the huge range of concerns whilst trying to provide a positive and supportive environment for those they care so much about.
The SolarisCare Foundation Cancer Support Centres provide a safe and welcoming place where cancer patients and their carers can drop-in to receive information and choose to have therapeutic touch from a range of over 15 complementary therapies provided by volunteer professional therapists.
The Cancer Support Centres are fully integrated with mainstream medical care and aim to provide patients with practical skills to cope with the emotional and physical side effects of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Offering support, educational material and complementary therapy sessions, (e.g. massage, reiki, counselling) for anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer and is receiving treatment, regardless of age, gender, type of cancer, or socio economic group.
