That’s a wonderful initiative! Orvis’s “Casting for Recovery” (CFR) is an inspiring nonprofit program that supports women recovering from breast cancer by offering free fly-fishing retreats. The combination of nature, camaraderie, and the therapeutic rhythm of fly fishing provides emotional and physical healing.
How You Can Show Support:
1. Donate or Fundraise – Contributions help fund retreats for survivors.
2. Volunteer – Assist at retreats as a fishing guide, medical professional, or organizer.
3. Spread Awareness – Share CFR’s mission on social media with CastingForRecovery.
4. Gift a Retreat Spot – Sponsor a participant in honor of a loved one.
5. Wear the Symbol – A pink ribbon 🎗️ or CFR gear shows solidarity.
For someone recovering from cancer (any type), you could also:
– Send a heartfelt note with a fly-fishing-themed gift (e.g., a hand-tied fly).
– Offer to join them in a calming outdoor activity.
– Simply listen and remind them of their strength.
Fly fishing isn’t just about catching fish—it’s about casting hope. 💖
