Casting for Recovery
Doing something a bit different, Casting for Recovery was founded by a breast reconstructive surgeon and a professional fly fisher who offers fly fishing retreats to women with breast cancer at no cost to the participants. Why fly fishing? The motion of fly fishing can be a gentle form of physical therapy for women who have undergone surgery in the upper parts of their bodies. Furthermore, the activity takes women to serene and beautiful locations to benefit from the therapeutic powers of nature. The organization serves over 700 women each year in over 57 retreats. Medical and psychosocial professionals lend their services and expertise to the program to make it safe and rewarding.
