At Elekta Foundation, we organize both internal and external events to raise awareness, build community, and fund programs that improve access to cancer care worldwide. These initiatives not only bring people together but also create opportunities to support patients, families, and healthcare providers in underserved regions.
So far, our events have included the Pink Ribbon Challenge, where Elekta employees around the globe embraced active lifestyles, boosted team spirit, and raised awareness for breast cancer. Every kilometer walked or run contributed to supporting breast cancer screening and care for women in need. We also launched Ride for Rwanda, a four-day cycling fundraiser from the UK to the Netherlands that united 39 incredible cyclists, covered more than 500 km, and raised over US$ 55,000. The funds directly support women living with advanced stages of cancer, helping to relieve physical, psychological, and social suffering.
Together, through these events and future initiatives, we are building a world where everyone has access to quality cancer care, no matter where they live.
The aim with the Pink Ribbon Challenge was to embrace an active lifestyle, boost team spirit, and make a difference in the community. Elekta employees worldwide have been participating in the Pink Ribbon Challenge since January.
We know that physical activity reduces the risk of cancer, and every step Elekta employees took contributed to a good cause, as they were raising funds for the support to our work with breast cancer screening and assistance to women dealing with this disease.
For every kilometer they have run or walked, $7 was donated to the Elekta Foundation.
Together, we are building a future where everyone has access to cancer care is a reality, no matter where you live.
