As we head into our 25th year of healing adventures this holiday season, our goal is to raise $50,000 to help fund transformative experiences for young adults impacted by cancer and MS.
To achieve our goal, we rely on the generous support of donors like YOU to Give the Gift of Adventure. Thank you for making our life-changing work possible!

Angelina (aka “Katniss”) grew up on a farm in Western Massachusetts where she developed a passion for the outdoors. After her own cancer diagnosis, she attended a First Descents rock climbing program in 2015 and experienced firsthand the healing power of adventure. From then on, Katniss made it her mission to help other young adults impacted by cancer and other serious health conditions.
