Casting for Recovery is a national non-profit support and educational program for women who have or have had breast cancer.
We provide an opportunity for women whose lives have been profoundly affected by the disease to gather in a beautiful, natural setting and learn fly-fishing, "a sport for life." Just as importantly, we offer an opportunity to meet new friends and have fun.
Our weekend retreats incorporate counseling, educational services and the sport of fly-fishing to promote mental and physical healing.Fly fishing techniques provide a gentle exercise for joint and soft tissue mobility. The dynamics of fly fishing provide a healing connection to the natural world, relieving everyday stress and promoting a sense of calm. These retreats also offer a forum for women with similar experiences to meet, learn a new skill and gain a respite from their everyday concerns. Any woman who has experienced breast cancer is elegible to attend a retreat (with medical clearance from their physicians).
Founded in 1996, Casting for Recovery has been offering free retreats across the country. We rely on local volunteers and organizations to support our community based retreats. CFR is holding 34 retreats in 23 states this year. For more information go to www.castingforrecovery.org
