Make It A Great Day
Cattlemen’s Days Tough Enough To Wear Pink is pleased to provide this amazing program called “Make It A Great Day!”.
Which helps Gunnison Valley residents who are diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers living in the same household by providing coupons to utilize the services of Integrative Therapies.
HISTORY
When our good friend and TETWP volunteer extraordinaire Edie Gibson was diagnosed with breast cancer and endured a double mastectomy, we wanted to honor her by creating this program! Edie has always said “Make It A Great Day” on her voice messages and emails and we believe in sending this positive message to the community, so TETWP pledged $3600.00 to get this program started. Integrative Therapies was a program in conjunction with Gunnison Valley Hospital and consists of practitioners, teachers, physicians, nurses, therapists, acupuncturists, nutritionists, counselors, pastors, intuitives, coaches, trainers, artists, dancers, green builders, adventure guides, etc who have come together with the intention of expanding the awareness of the array of wellbeing support here in the Gunnison Valley.
Eva at IMEva Bodywork has been with the program since it's inception. She is now contracted with TETWP to provide these services in her private practice.
BENEFIT'S
Studies suggest that Massage Therapy may help to relieve symptoms experienced by people with cancer, such as pain, nausea, anxiety, and depression.
There is evidence that mindfulness-based stress reduction, a type of meditation training, can help cancer patients relieve anxiety, stress, fatigue, and general mood and sleep disturbances, thus improving their quality of life.
Preliminary evidence indicates that movement therapy may help to improve anxiety, depression, distress, and stress in people with cancer. It also may help to lessen fatigue in breast cancer patients and survivors.
