Help fund young cancer patients and their families to stay at Ripple Retreat
Callander, UK
The Ripple Retreat is located on the shores of Loch Venachar in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. It offers young cancer patients (aged 0-18 in Scotland) and their families the opportunity to spend precious time together to focus on their mental and physical wellness away from hospitals, treatments, and the everyday challenges a cancer diagnosis brings. Families stay from Saturday to Wednesday and have the retreat to themselves for the whole time. Something young cancer patients asked for - to have somewhere that isn't shared with other families. We don't charge families to stay at the retreat as we don't want cost to be a barrier. Many families are already struggling financially already with increased travel costs or changes in work patterns due to their child being an inpatient.
