It's coming up on the horizon. Once again, it's almost time to sign up for the Stowe Weekend of Hope. This year, it's May 3-5. Sign-up begins March 1.
In case you're unfamiliar with this event, the people of Stowe, Vermont put on a weekend in May for cancer patients and their families. The accommodations are free for first-time cancer attendees. There are discounted accommodations for those who return and for family members.
Throughout the weekend, there are a variety of activities, from recreational to spiritual to educational. It's a chance to get together with other cancer families and share inspiration, lessons learned, and to meet with medical professionals who are striving to improve the lives of cancer patients through new medicines and treatments.
No two cancer patients or two cancer caregivers will ever face the disease in the same way. As human beings, we all have different beliefs and different experiences. Sometimes it's really nice to expand our horizons and take a look at the disease with fresh eyes.
Vermont is a lovely place to visit any time of the year, and the fact that the people of Stowe are so welcoming to cancer families makes it all the more wonderful a place to be in May. If you are a cancer caregiver or cancer patient, and you just want to have the chance to rub elbows with others like you in a beautiful setting, consider taking advantage of this offer.
