We have some gratitude to share 💛

Ducks For Cancer has now donated more than $120,000 to Love Bus! 🦆

Each year, Love Bus supports 300+ children with cancer and 200+ family members through free integrative therapies and holistic support. Partners like Ducks for Cancer make that possible: the massage that eases a hard hospital day, the sibling who finally feels seen, the parent who gets an hour to breathe.

Thank you for showing up for these families again and again. We couldn’t do this without you.

Our hearts are full after Rally for Love Bus! 💛

To our 16 teams, our players, volunteers, sponsors and everyone who cheered from the sidelines: thank you. You showed up, played hard and had a great time, all to support local children and young adults with cancer and their families.

The funds you raised help Love Bus bring free integrative therapies and support to kids and families when they need it most. That’s something to celebrate.

Thank you for rallying with us! 🏓

A beautiful, crisp fall day at Farm yesterday with lots of friends, new and familiar! 🍂🐴

We started off learning how to measure a horse’s weight and height. Saint tips the scales at over 1,400 lbs. Talk about a gentle giant!

But the real star was the farm’s newest princess, a mini horse named Maizy! She put on her sparkliest pink bridle to come say hello, and the kids did awesome work leading her through a maze. (Is that how she got her name? 🤔) With her blue eyes and speckled coat, some of our Love Bus families thought she looked like an Australian Shepherd. What do you think?

Love Bus families: November is waitlisted, but there’s still space in our December program, sign up now! 💛

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the history, cultures, and resilience of Native communities, and the ancestral homelands of the Pennacook and Pawtucket peoples where Love Bus calls home. We’re grateful to share this land and committed to honoring those who came first. 🧡

While the in-person celebrations have passed, you can check out Studios Performing Arts and recaps of this weekend's People's Day Newburyport programming, featuring native artists, performers, makers, historians, and more.

October 10 is both World Mental Health Day and World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, and at Love Bus, these two days feel deeply connected.

This year's themes are "Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change" and "Pain Management: An Essential Part of Palliative Care." Few voices capture both better than Rebecca Curry, a former program participant who now serves on our board:

"Imagine your hand is in a pot of boiling water. Now imagine someone gives you permission to lift it out—even just for an hour. You're still burned. You're still hurting. But for that hour, you can breathe again. That's what Love Bus gave me—those moments of breath. And moments like that don't just help—they heal."

That is what success looks like to us.

Lucy Grogan founded Love Bus in 2006, at just 11 years old, after integrative therapies eased her pain and anxiety. Today, we provide free integrative therapies and holistic support to children and young adults with cancer and their families across New England, so more people can find those moments of breath. 💛
