[size 1]LAKEVIEW - Casting for Recovery will hold their annual retreat this summer at Gaston's Resort on the famous White River in northern Arkansas. The retreat will be held June 8 to 10.
Casting For Recovery is a national non-profit organization that provides fly-fishing retreats specifically tailored for women who have or have had breast cancer. The retreat is free to 14 women who will be randomly selected.
To apply for this selection, a woman must be a breast cancer survivor and live in the state of Arkansas. The purpose of each retreat is to promote and support mental and physical healing through the sport of fly fishing.
Each retreat incorporates education, support and counseling in a beautiful, natural setting. It provides an opportunity to meet new friends, renew spirit and improve health. Physically, fly-fishing provides a gentle exercise for joint and soft tissue mobility for the shoulder and arm following rehabilitation from breast surgery. Psychosocially, each retreat provides an avenue for social support, reduces isolation and promotes mental healing in a natural setting.
For more information on this program or to submit an application, call (888) 553-3500 or Kerri Russell at (479) 640-8319. Further information can also be found at www.castingforrecovery.org. [/size]
