Get Involved!

We hold an annual fundraising walk each year in Ipswich on Great Neck, a place of great natural beauty and tranquility. Our fourth walk, in 2010, was a great success, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2011.

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! As of mid-2010 we have sent nearly 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.
