One of our upcoming events is being hosted by Kids Kicking Cancer, a unique nonprofit organization with a mission: to combat cancer through karate. Awesome, right?
The organization’s mission is “to ease the pain of very sick children while empowering them to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally” through relaxation and mental imagery, meditating, breathing and active karate exercises. The Kids Kicking Cancer program also seeks to integrate parents, siblings and medical personnel into the healing process through these unconventional healing methods.
Rock, Paper, Scissors: Karate beats Cancer
Most children diagnosed with cancer typically feel a loss of autonomy, control and personal identity. Kids Kicking Cancer teaches kids to see themselves in a new light: not as victims of the disease, but as empowered participants in their own healing process. This psychological and emotional shift is dramatic and powerful.
Kids Kicking Cancer offers a wide variety of programs for participants and their families.
Their comprehensive plan makes sure that families, siblings and medical personnel are all acquainted with the healing powers of martial arts therapy to ensure that the patient is supported by the most capable healing team possible.
