Story
Help fund the UK's first fly-fishing retreats for men with cancer.
Reel Recovery is an innovative non-profit organization, that uses FREE Fly Fishing retreats to improve the lives of men with cancer. In the outdoors you can find troubles drifting, peace and serenity in nature, the power of friendship with a fishing buddy and sharing the day's adventures. Reel Recovery was established in the USA over 20 years ago and has helped more than 4,500 men living with cancer.
I discovered that while Fly-Fishing I was in another place. In this place there was no cancer, no pain and no fear. - Retreat participant.
This year, for the first time, we have hosted a fly-fishing retreat in Northumberland - this is the springboard to launch the program across the UK.
Reel Recovery’s mission is to help men in the recovery process by sharing with them the healing powers of fly-fishing, while providing a safe, supportive environment to explore their personal experiences of cancer, with others who share their stories. Retreats are offered at no cost to the participants and are led by professional facilitators and expert fly-fishing instructors. Reel Recovery provides all meals, lodging and fly-fishing equipment, and no previous fishing experience is required.

I hope you have even more success. Learning to fly fish, getting out into the fresh air with others in similar circumstances must be beneficial.
