Walk for Susan's Retreat:
In the Spirit of Hope!
Our annual fundraising events in beautiful Ipswich, MA, are always a great success, we look forward to seeing you on future walks!
We have not yet set a date for this year's walk; please contact us to be put on our mailing list for updates.
Our goal is simple - to raise funds to send breast cancer patients on short retreats to give them a mental break from the day-to-day hardship of doctors’ appointments, chemotherapy, and radiation. The retreats aim to give the patient a time for themselves (and a companion) away from the stresses of treatment and home responsibilities in a setting of carefree comfort.
With our first four walks we raised over $45,000 combined! To date we have sent nearly 50 women on retreat with a companion of their choice. Their feedback has been a deeply moving endorsement of how much a few days break can mean to someone who is going through very difficult times.
Words cannot express enough my gratitude! Susan’s vision was a beautiful, compassionate and loving one. I could almost feel myself accelerate with healing.
Your commitment will bring hope and optimism to breast cancer sufferers. Here’s how you can help:
- Become a team captain and recruit other walkers to be part of your team.
- We ask each walk participant to raise $100.
- Set up a "donation station" at your place of business, office reception area or restaurant, we will provide the materials!
