Aerial Yoga (ages 8+)
Silk fabrics are hung from above to aid participants in being fully supported by the silks. Hanging fully or suspending individual body parts is believed to create traction and open your body more gently and intuitively than when you’re on the floor. The silks and ropes can also be helpful for balance, and the versatility and support of the fabric allows people to access new movements by reducing the load on wrists and knees, which can limit mobility in a floor-based practice. No experience necessary to join aerial yoga programs at Lucy’s Love Bus! For ages 8+. Contact Kerry@lucyslovebus.org

This monthly online group will provide fathers and male caregivers with a safe and supported space to share the joys and heartaches of parenting a child with cancer while often having to be the sole financial provider for their family during an extremely stressful time in their life. The group will be led by Timothy Russell. To register or get more information, please email Tim@lucyslovebus.org.

Types of Events Love Bus Hosts

Fundraising Events
Annual and seasonal fundraising events that bring the Love Bus donor and family community together. Proceeds fund therapy sessions for children with cancer across New England. Open to supporters of all six states, with virtual participation options where available.

Family Experience Events
Community days, equine therapy gatherings at the Sajni Center in Amesbury, MA, and shared experiences designed for Love Bus families — patients, siblings, and caregivers together. These are the events families describe as some of their most meaningful memories from this season of life.

Community and Awareness Events
Local and regional events that expand Love Bus's reach across New England, connect new supporters to the mission, and celebrate the community that makes the work possible. Open to anyone who wants to get involved.
Can't Make It In Person?
Several Love Bus events include virtual or statewide participation options, so supporters in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine can take part without traveling to Massachusetts. Event listings note virtual availability — check the calendar for details.
