According to Andrews, “This financial support will help us to provide the important services that we offer to the women who participate in this annual event. We are very grateful that the MJ – Women’s Committee understands the value of this event as it relates to the physical, social, emotional and spiritual healing of women cancer survivors. Having opportunities to learn new life skills associated with fly fishing and other outdoor activities is important. When women have a chance to share a respite weekend with other women who are on the same journey to overcome the challenges associated with cancer, it is beneficial for all who participate. We want the women to have an enjoyable weekend of ‘Rustic Elegance’ with opportunities to try things that they have never done before. Thank you for making this possible!”
