Families must have lost a child to cancer within the past 1 - 5 years.
Immediate family members living at home may attend a retreat (limited to 2 adults and siblings under the age of 21). Mom and dad must attend the retreat unless you are a single parent. Single parents are welcome to bring a support person who has walked through their cancer journey with them.
Retreats fill on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to first-time families.
