Medical Considerations

Medical Fitness for Travel

I acknowledge that I am responsible for ensuring I am medically able to participate in the travel and activities associated with this Buckit experience. I have discussed my travel plans with my healthcare provider, when appropriate, and I believe I am medically fit to participate.

I understand that if my medical condition changes before or during the experience, I am responsible for notifying Buckit! Just Live Courageously as soon as reasonably possible.

Changes in Medical Condition

I understand that cancer and its treatment can be unpredictable. If my medical condition changes before or during the experience, Buckit! Just Live Courageously will make reasonable efforts to assist with alternative arrangements when possible. However, Buckit cannot guarantee changes to airline reservations, lodging, transportation, activities, itineraries, or other travel arrangements.

Medical Escorts & Additional Travel Accommodations

If, after travel arrangements have been confirmed, my medical condition changes and I require additional assistance—including but not limited to a medical escort, caregiver escort, upgraded seating, wheelchair services beyond those normally provided by travel providers, specialized transportation, emergency transportation, additional lodging, or other medically necessary travel accommodations—I understand that these expenses are not the financial responsibility of Buckit! Just Live Courageously.

Buckit will make reasonable efforts to assist by coordinating resources, requesting donated or discounted services, or identifying alternative solutions whenever possible; however, such accommodations or funding cannot be guaranteed.

Medical Expenses

I understand that Buckit! Just Live Courageously does not provide medical care, medical transportation, medical escort services, travel insurance, or health insurance. I remain solely responsible for all medical care and any related medical or travel expenses incurred before, during, or after my Buckit experience.

Buckit's Right to Modify or Cancel an Experience

The safety and well-being of our recipients are our highest priority. If Buckit! Just Live Courageously reasonably believes that a participant's medical condition creates a significant safety concern or that the planned experience can no longer be safely completed, Buckit reserves the right to postpone, modify, or cancel the experience after consultation with the participant and, when appropriate, the participant's healthcare provider.

Whenever possible, Buckit will work collaboratively with the participant to identify alternative arrangements consistent with the organization's mission and available resources.
