Cancer Survivorship Programs
The Adventure Project | Recipients
Each Adventure Project cancer survivor recipient has a story not yet told. The opportunity that your support makes possible will unfold in a chronicle of video, audio, photography and journal entries, as shared by each member of the class.
As a sponsor, you'll be on the inside, following the progress as each member pursues a different challenge, follows a different passion. From snowboarding to swimming, and baseball to bicycling, to just getting healthy, each cancer survivor receives the tools they need to train, compete, practice, travel, get coached, and get after it.
Sponsors will be part of an exclusive communication throughout the year, as our Adventure Project members share their story. See what your support makes possible.
Helping Young Cancer Survivors Reclaim Their Lives and Live Their Dreams
Fifty years ago, childhood cancers were largely fatal. Today, the childhood cancer survival rate is over 83%. However, young cancer survivors often experience multiple, often severe health problems typical of those much older; they also die prematurely …all due to the treatments they endured. A growing body of research shows the effectiveness of exercise, nutrition, and mind-body health in neutralizing many of the aftereffects of cancer treatment. That’s why it is so important for young survivors to adopt healthy lifestyle practices early and forever.
At Mission, we believe expensive equipment, training, and/or access to fitness/wellness resources shouldn’t stop young cancer survivors from their efforts to get to the other side of cancer and stay there. Through the Adventure Project, Mission provides grants for cancer survivors to help them overcome financial impediments that may be stopping them from training, exercising, and competing. We are dedicated to helping our grant recipients reclaim their lives and live their dreams with comprehensive programs for young cancer survivors.
