The Second Cancer Thriver Flotilla: September 12, 2015

Last year's Cancer Thriver Flotilla was an amazing success...and we're doing it again!

On September 12, which happens to be my 51st birthday, a group of about 30 people -- cancer thrivers and friends --  will paddle up the Potomac from the Key Bridge to Fletcher's Boathouse, and back.

The goals of the event are:

1. Spread the word: Exercise helps prevent and treat cancer
2. Inspire people with cancer and loved ones: You can thrive with cancer, no matter your diagnosis
3. Raise funds for breast cancer groups that help survivors become Cancer Thrivers

We'll raise money and awareness for three fabulous cancer organizations:

• GoPink!DC, the DC breast cancer survivor's Dragon Boat team.
• BreastCancer.org, a web site that has become the go-to resource for women around the world seeking support and information for their breast cancer. 
• Living Beyond Breast Cancer, an organization that brings together women with breast cancer at conferences that provide support, hope, and the lastest useful medical information.

I'm thrilled that in the first week of our campaign we reached our initial goal of $500 and we're now working towards our stretch goal of $1500.
