Casting for Recovery (a national nonprofit) delivers healing for women diagnosed with breast cancer that traditional medicine alone can’t offer — powerful, oncology-informed weekend retreats held on a river, not in a hospital room. CfR celebrates its 30th anniversary and currently hosts 60 free fly-fishing retreats in all 50 states, serving over 800 women each year. Women at any age and any stage off breast cancer treatment or recovery, are eligible to apply.

Susan Gaetz, CfR’s Executive Director, tells us about the organization, how it started and what to expect from a weekend retreat.  castingforrecovery.org
