Cancer support charity, Look Good Feel Better (LGFB), will take a road trip around the UK in an eye-catching caravan to boost morale of women with cancer
Look Good Feel Better (LGFB), a cancer support charity, will begin caravan road trip around the UK as part of their mission to boost the morale of women around the country. The road trip will begin from Epsom High Street in Surrey on Wednesday, 4 June, as reported by Your Local Guardian.
The striking pink and silver caravan will travel to more than 20 cities to mark the charity’s 20th anniversary. The caravan-based mobile information service will strive to follow the charity’s purpose in strengthening the self-esteem of cancer patients through a series of support activities and workshops.
Epsom and Ewell MP, Chris Graylling, promoted the caravan, “I am sure a lot of people aren’t aware that a national cancer charity is based in offices close to Epsom town centre. I urge all local residents and businesses to come and visit their new eye-catching mobile unit and find out how they help women and teenagers who are struggling with the visible side effects of cancer treatment.”
LGFB is the only worldwide cancer support charity which specialises in providing practical support for women struggling with the side effects of cancer treatments. The extreme physical changes some patients undergo as a result of aggressive cancer treatments can have quite a negative effect on their self-esteem. The mission of LGFB is to aid patients in dealing with these side effects by improving their self-image and appearance through free group and self-help skincare and make-up workshops. These activities create a sense of support, confidence and well-being. Since its establishment in 1993, LGFB has supported nearly 100,000 patients.
Fiona, one of the charity’s beneficiaries, gleamed when discussing their mission, “The whole experience was outstanding. It’s not just about a bit of make-up, it’s not vanity-it’s about control. It gives women the strength to fight this horrible disease.”
CaravanTimes urges caravanners in the area to visit the impressive caravan and support this noble cause!
