Young Adult Retreat, February 7-9, 2020
Once again, we will be hosting our ever popular CancerFightClub retreat at Jouvence in the Eastern Townships. Every year, 30 young adults with cancer (ages 18-39) and their supporters gather at this retreat to get away from it all, relax, recharge, connect and learn strategies for coping with the many challenges of young adult cancer. If you know of anyone who could benefit from this retreat, please encourage them to fill out the on-line registration form which can be accessed here: https://cancerfightclub.com/our-cfc-retreats/
