Dear friends, With the Falmouth Road Race behind us and Second Summer Cycle on the horizon, I am reminded of the many ways movement can bring energy, connection, and joy into our lives. Fitness doesn’t have to mean running a race or riding miles on a bike. Movement—suited to your abilities, interests, and needs—can be a powerful elixir for so many things, including stress, pain, low mood, and fatigue. For those living with cancer, caring for a loved one, or supporting someone

Dear friends, As I write this, we're still carrying the joy and energy of a truly magical weekend at the Cape Cod Women's Music Festival. There is something special about gathering together on a summer evening to celebrate music, community, and connection—and we are so grateful to everyone who joined us. Over $35K was raised in support of our mission! These funds will directly impact those going through cancer and their caregivers on the Cape and Islands. If you attended, tha

Dear reader, you’ll have to bear with me for a minute. I actually have several stories for you today, but I don’t know where to start. My mind keeps holding an image of Louisa Stringer, sitting across the table from me at Panera’s with tears coursing down her cheeks. She’s asking my assistance because I’m a newspaper columnist and I get to talk to people like you every Sunday. She’d like to borrow my voice to ask for help. More of that soon.

Dear friends, As spring (finally!) takes hold on Cape Cod and the Islands, we’re preparing for one of our most meaningful moments of the year: our Day of Giving, when we celebrate the founding of CWC by musician Sarah Swain!

Hello friends, What an incredible evening we shared at this year’s Dancing with the Docs. I’m still feeling the energy, joy, and generosity that filled the room from start to finish. Thanks to all of you—our dedicated supporters, talented dancers, generous sponsors, and enthusiastic guests—the event was truly a success in every sense of the word.

Hello friends, As we prepare for one of the most joyful and inspiring evenings of the year later this month, our team is hard at work finalizing the details for Dancing with the Docs! This event is such a special reflection of who we are as a community: compassionate, generous, and willing to show up for one another in meaningful ways.

Hello friends, As we step into a new year together, I’m filled with gratitude and optimism for what lies ahead. CWC continues to grow because of the care, generosity, and community spirit that surround us, and this year already feels full of momentum and possibility. We have so many meaningful moments on the horizon, and we’re excited to share them with you.

It’s estimated that 20 million Americans are impacted by neuropathy, a condition that involves damage to the nervous system. This can cause debilitating pain, numbness and issues with balance and coordination. On The Point, we discuss causes, prevention and treatment of neuropathy.

On a relatively warm winter’s day on February 23, 2023, Mark Clausen of Dennis got in the car for what he thought would be a routine doctor’s appointment.

After both being diagnosed with breast cancer just three months apart, Mark and Joanna Clausen turned their hardship into a mission by helping others in their community.

The Cape Wellness Collaborative is hosting a new Men’s Cancer Support Group which starts next month. Organizers say there are currently no such resources on Cape Cod. This is for anyone impacted by cancer, including newly-diagnosed, currently in treatment, or navigating life in remission.

Dressed in pink, pickleball players sign in. The fifth annual Pink Ribbon Pickleball fundraiser was held Thursday, Oct. 2 at Flax Pond Recreation Area in South Yarmouth. This year's theme was rodeo. More than 100 pickleball players from around the Cape participated in the event that raises funds for Cape Wellness Collaborative, a non-profit organization that provides free integrative therapies, nutritious meals and emotional support to those in the community with cancer.

It’s a stereotype that has more than a ring of truth to it: men are less likely to regularly visit the doctor, more reluctant to pay attention to warning signs, and less likely to seek peer support after a cancer diagnosis. That’s why Cape Wellness Collaborative is establishing a first-in-the-region monthly support group designed for men in any stage of their cancer journey, whether they’re recently diagnosed, undergoing treatment or living in remission.

When the Cape Cod Women’s Music Festival kicked off in 2012 to recognize local talent and raise money for families facing cancer, pop star Meghan Trainor was first up.
