Mission Statement
Reel Recovery is a national 501c3 non-profit organization providing free Fly-Fishing Retreats for men living with all forms of cancer. Our mission is to help men in the cancer recovery process by introducing them to the healing powers of the sport of fly-fishing, while providing a safe, supportive environment to explore their personal experiences with cancer, with others who share their stories.
About This Cause
The organization’s purpose is to address the growing demand for and limited supply of psychosocial support services specifically tailored for men with cancer. Our overarching goal is to improve the lives of the men we serve. To do this, Reel Recovery has designed a unique and innovative Retreat program that combines expert fly-fishing instruction with directed psychosocial support, conducted over a three-day period at premier fly-fishing facilities. Though only a few days in duration, a Reel Recovery Retreat can be a life-changing event for these men battling cancer. The program blends outdoor activity with directed conversations to create a supportive environment conducive to relaxed, open participation. Reel Recovery is dedicated to providing cancer patients with information, education and a network of support that will help them as they proceed through their cancer treatment and/or recovery. We are directly enhancing their ability to learn about and manage their disease. We provide participants an opportunity to gain new insights about living with cancer and about coping with the psychological, social and emotional aspects of having the disease. Our participants learn about treatment options, navigating the healthcare system, facing mortality, coping with stressful family and work related situations - in sum the whole gamut of experiences that life with cancer entails. By learning from others in similar situations, our participants can gain a fresh perspective about their disease and renewed hope about fighting and surviving it.
