Review for First Descents, Denver, CO, USA
First Descents was first brought to my attention in Vail, CO and I was an admirer from the sidelines. Little did I know it would be part of our daughter's experience a little over a year ago! Since then my husband and I volunteered at a hugely successful fund raiser, meeting the founders Brad and Corey who are totally committed and the coolest guys on the planet. FD was empowering, rewarding, a learning and teaching experience, humbling, and positive in a world which was being viewed negatively because of the cancer diagnosis.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
their free week long kayaking experience turning a negative cancer experience into a positive "can do" experience, empowering participants with new rewards.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
meeting Brad and Corey. They show their love freely and give willingly, encouraging others to do the same. They are heros.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Selfless, giving, upbeat, positive, energetic, organized.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
spread their services globally giving cancer patients a once in a lifetime experience....no strings attached and an opportunity to repeat. Participants have a chance to think of something other than their diagnosis with others in the same situation.
