Boarding For Breast Cancer

Chasing sunshine survivorship retreats: b4bc's chasing sunshine survivor retreats are designed to support breast cancer survivors on their road to recovery and wellness. The retreat schedules center around snowboarding/skiing, surfing, yoga, nutrition, massage rejuvenation and life-skills coaching for breast cancer survivors in need of a wellness experience, as studies correlate the benefits of complementary care and long term survivorship. Testimonials by women in this community reveal that the physical, emotional, and psychological scars left behind are often more severe than the fight itself. Unfortunately for most patients, the current model of survivor care is dictated by their health care coverage and is limited solely to medical appointments and treatments. B4bc seeks to address these needs with a program that promotes healing, community, enhances long term survivorship and allows for all it serves to thrive.

Since 1998, the b4bc board-a-thon series has generated nationwide participation and includes the love your peaks winter series, skate the lake and skate the coast events. Aside from the expenses to support these activities, b4bc strives to keep funds (roughly 30%) in these local communities by distributing grants to local communities by distributing grants to local community non-profits that supports b4bc's mission.
