Once a year the worst club with the best members rallies to get out there and do a little fundraising at the same time! That club is, of course, the young adults who have faced cancer and have also found the Send It Foundation!
Send It provides free outdoor adventure programs for young adult cancer fighters and survivors. We do ALL the badass adventures like skiing, surfing, rock climbing, mountain biking, backpacking, white water rafting, and mindfulness. While treatment focuses on the physical side of cancer, Send It helps address the emotional and mental wellbeing that comes from community, confidence, challenge, and time spent in nature.
I was lucky to be invited on a Send It trip just 8 months after my cancer diagnosis. I skied my heart out for 3 days, laughed, cried and made lifelong friends. That trip completely changed my trajectory and redefined what I would be capable of after treatment.
8 years later, I'm now a seasoned trip leader who gets to share the Send It magic with new participants. Send It provides more and more trips each year, and the need for these healing adventures only grows. The impact of these programs cannot be overstated. They truly change lives.
And that's where YOU come in! Send It is a non-profit foundation and every program is FREE for participants so that finances are never a barrier to participation. Send It is fueled by donations, so please consider giving to help support more participants getting on trips and experiencing the Send It magic!
