Review for First Descents, Denver, CO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When you are going through cancer treatment your family and significant other might try to understand what you are going through but no one knows better than other cancer survivors. First Descent's gave me a chance to get away from the harsh reality and enjoy the outdoors while learning how to kayak with other survivors that have gone through similar scenarios. For me, there was nothing better than connecting with nature while connecting with peers in which I can comfortably talk about cancer.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

some of the most fantastic and caring people I have ever met. I would love to continue my relationships with them in the outside world.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

serve numerous more cancer patients. They don't promise a cure by any means but I have yet to see a better outlet than this.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009
