Re: Fun Free Opportunities/resources for Breast Cancer patients

http://firstdescents.org/

This looks like sooooooooooo much fun to me! I'm past their age guideline at 54 but I called and inquired about the age restriction and spoke to someone at First Descents who said to apply anyway, that there is talk that they might expand that in the future. My friend went on a surfing weekend recently with them and loved it. The description below is copied and pasted from their website. Anybody here go on one of these trips or interested in going? First step is to apply!

Our programs are all over the country and range anywhere from 2 days to 1 week. Any young adult with cancer is eligible regardless of physical challenges, diagnosis or prognosis!"
