CancerRehabFund

Since 2019, Gekås has been collaborating with CancerRehabFonden, where Gekås contributes money to the work of rehabilitating cancer victims.

Rehabilitation of cancer patients

CancerRehabFonden is a non-profit organization that raises money to offer rehabilitation to cancer victims who need to recover physically and mentally. The healthcare system does not have the resources to offer cancer rehabilitation to everyone – that is why CancerRehabFonden is needed.
The organization has 90 accounts and is controlled by Svensk Insamlingskontroll, is politically and religiously independent, and is a member of the industry organization Giva.

All cancer patients can apply to the CancerRehabFonden to participate in a week-long rehab program led by qualified staff. The program includes group sessions with a therapist/psychologist, dietary advice, physical activity and methods for managing anxiety and stress.

The CancerRehab Foundation is completely independent from other cancer organizations and receives no government grants, relying instead on donations from individuals, companies and foundations.
