Who we are

2024 THCF Logo.png

The Healing Cycle Foundation funds and empowers the hospice palliative care community and champions the right of all Canadians to dignity, compassion, and quality in end-of-life care.

 

Our aim is to support hospice palliative care programs that compassionately uphold the quality of end-of-life care and foster the vision that palliative individuals can live every day to the fullest with dignity, meaning, and hope. 

 

We believe in whole-person care, where services are provided within a seamless, integrated community of physical, emotional, psychosocial and spiritual support.

 

Through the outreach initiatives of our Foundation, we support the accessibility of hospice palliative care services with the hope that one day it will be made available to all Canadians travelling the end-of-life journey.

  • What is the Healing Cycle Foundation?
    The Healing Cycle Foundation funds and empowers the hospice palliative care community and champions the right of all Canadians to dignity, compassion, and quality in end-of-life care.
  • Where does the money go?
    This is a non-profit organization, so the core essence of it is to provide support for hospices and palliative care. The purpose of this ride is to raise money for charity as 85% of the funds raised by each hospice palliative care team will go directly back to charity. The other 15% will be used to cover the online banking and credit card fees as well as administrative and ride costs.
  • How do I donate?
    To donate to this foundation click 'Donate' in the top right corner.
  • What is a virtual ride?
    Instead of doing one ride on September 22nd, all participants are invited to complete a set distance over the course of the month of September, individually or with their friends and colleagues. This will be a fun, interactive and exciting way to connect with your teammates and check in on each other’s progress throughout the month. and easier than ever to take part in!
