AYCC RECEIVES GRANT FROM THE ALASKA RUN FOR WOMEN
In October, we received a grant from the AK Run for Women to fund our first ever Winter Restorative Retreat coming up in February 2017. The summer retreats have been such a success but once a year was just not enough! The retreats truly do have a magical restorative quality. With peer-to-peer support, we look forward to providing another healing space for those affected by cancer.
