B Strong Ride is a bicycle event that celebrates cancer survivorship and funds a complete year of cancer care at the Boulder Community Health Center for Integrative Care and several other local cancer charities.
These organizations have deep personal impacts on people whose lives are impacted by cancer. Supporting them moves our riders and sponsors to superhuman efforts.
Founded in 2011, B Strong Ride has been an outstanding success:
Boulder Community Health Center for Integrative Care (CIC) provides a wide range of services integrated with conventional cancer care that are clinically demonstrated to improve patients’ outcomes by enhancing wound healing, shortening hospital stays, and reducing pain medication needs, as well as lowering patient stress and anxiety.
CIC provides evidence-based care by certified and licensed practitioners for current cancer patients and cancer survivors, as well as their family members and caregivers, including:
From CIC Patients:
I became a patient at the Center for Integrative Care center 4 years ago after my radiation treatments, then last year after surgery to remove my cancer. Both times I felt very weak and debilitated from repeated treatments, and getting acupuncture helped my process of healing and recovery. These ongoing treatments at the CIC were only possible for me because of reduced fee offered by the foundation. - Ellen T.
I don’t know how my wife would have gotten through the last months of her life if it had not been for acupuncture. It was the only thing that relieved her headaches and made it possible for her to sleep. If only Medicare covered this vital treatment. The staff and this treatment provided relief when medicine could not. - Martin C.
As a cancer patient of BCH I am proof of the positive relationship between chemotherapy and the multiple components of integrative services of message, acupuncture and reiki. I now celebrate this wellness as a participant in the B Strong Ride. This community effort reaches far and deep! Thank you.
