Travel Assistance

Having the patient at the right facility is the first step in moving towards the best outcome. Travel could be difficult for many families but there are resources available that can help.

The American Cancer Society and Lyft offer free or low-cost transportation for rhabdo patients. For farther distances, a number of private pilots offer their services to fly patient and family to medical facilities.

Every day thousands of cancer patients need a ride to treatment, but some may not have a way to get there. The American Cancer Society Road To Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatment for people with cancer who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves.

LYFT - Using the Lyft mobile app - https://www.lyft.com/rider
Ride sharing giant Lyft is offering cancer patients free rides—or at least effectively free for riders—to and from their treatments in 10 major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Houston, Miami, Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Denver, St. Louis, and Atlanta.

The rides are part of an existing Lyft collaboration (http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article176753181.html) with the American Cancer Society (ACS), which will be covering the cost of the rides.

Corporate Angel Network - Corporate Angel Network is the only charitable organization whose sole mission is to transport cancer patients to the hospital at which they need to be in order to receive a specialized form of treatment. Simply put, we pair empty seats - on both private and corporate planes - with qualified patients who need the rides... at no cost. This not only improves the patients' chances of survival but at the same time, it reduces their emotional stress, physical discomfort, and financial burden.
