Ride For Rwanda - Elekta

Elekta's London to Amsterdam Charity Cycle Challenge "Ride for Rwanda",

14th - 19th September 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death in underserved countries, where access to quality healthcare is limited and resources are scarce. Patients in these regions often do not receive the necessary screening and treatment, leading to poor health outcomes. This issue is compounded by the lack of funds available to tackle the problem, making it difficult to provide life-saving care to those in need.

The Elekta Foundation is a philanthropic organization inaugurated on 4th February 2022. Since then, it has made great strides in its mission to improve cancer care access in underserved countries such as Rwanda.

Ride for Rwanda aims to raise funds for a pilot project to develop community-based palliative care in rural villages. This is the first such event designed to achieve this, and the Foundation will be able to show exactly where funds raised have been used, and everyone taking part or donating will be able to see the impact this event has had. If successful, more events will be run to provide similar services.
