How does cancer suck? Oh, let me count the ways. One reason that many people don't realize, however, is a cancer patient's challenge with driving to and from chemotherapy sessions. Because some doctors forbid driving after undergoing such a physically draining treatment, finding reliable transportation can be inconvenient and expensive for patients without loved ones around to help. That's where the new #MoreGoodDays campaign [2] from Lyft and Ford comes in.
To help give "more good days" to women battling breast cancer, Ford's Warriors in Pink [3] foundation is partnering with ride-share service Lyft [4] to provide 10,000 free rides for patients undergoing treatment. They are also asking your help to provide this valuable service — for every Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook post tagged #MoreGoodDays, the companies will donate one free ride for a patient in need.
"Share whatever helps you turn a difficult day into a better one — from a walk in the sunshine, your favorite funny video, to a phone call with your best friend — on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook, and include #MoreGoodDays," urges the campaign. "The more tips you share, the more good days we can give to those who really need one. And, your photos and tips will act as an inspiration bank on how to make their day a bit better."
Many people are already getting involved, sharing their own good-day tips to help provide the rides. Ahead, see some memorable #MoreGoodDays posts, and then be sure to share your own [5] to provide 10,000 good days for people who need them most.
I'm combining my #WCW with a challenge from Ford Warriors in Pink. Share a tip to brighten a breast cancer patient's day and @lyft will donate a ride to get them to and from treatment. My indefatigable, brilliant and gorgeous stepmom was fortunate to have help getting to and from her treatments...and now she's taking 100k rides all on her own. #moregooddays #lyft #ford #warriorsinpink [6]

Thank you @cuterwear for telling me about @fordwarriorsinpink campaign, #moregooddays. @Ford has teamed up with @Lyft to donate free rides to and from treatment for breast cancer patients with every hashtag used. The idea is to share your joy and what makes you happy to inspire people when life feels tough. For me, going to the beach makes me happy! What about you? | #stylebythepeople [16]
Transportation to and from treatment can present a challenge for many breast cancer patients. We've teamed up with @Lyft to help change that. Share tips for how you have a good day with the hashtag #MoreGoodDays, and with every submission you share, Ford Warriors in Pink will donate a Lyft ride to a breast cancer patient in need. [17]
