"During this opportunity, it was the first time I woke up not thinking of myself as a cancer patient. I woke, and still do, as a human being thriving. Cancer is just a part of my life. It is NOT my life. This experience has given me so much to reclaim my life. I didn’t know to what depths I needed this until I left." -FD Participant

Give the Gift of Adventure

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!
