Upcoming Events:

The following are a series of events for our Survivors Network. These events are open to survivors, friends, family, caregivers, and significant others and are part of a series of informal get-togethers for young adult survivors, friends, and family in the area.

If you can't make one of the events below, no worries -- we will have another one soon! Please take a moment and review a handful of our
past events from the Boston, New York, and Chicago areas.

If you have ideas about planning future events in your city, feel free to email us.

June 26th—Kayaking in Boston
The weather is finally turning warm, and we think it's about to be the perfect time of year to head out on the waters of our lovely Charles River. Please join us on Saturday, June 26th, at 11am at Charles River Canoe and Kayak in Newton. We'll kayak from 11-1, then bring along a bag lunch and we'll have a little post-kayak picnic. The first 20 people to sign up can kayak for free -- after that, you're welcome to come, you'll just have to pay $15 for the kayak rental.

Please email us if you plan to attend - again, spots are first-come, first-serve.
