BRATTLEBORO — Forest Moon: Celebrating Cancer Survivorship thanks all those who made our recent fundraiser at the Stump Sprouts Lodge and Cross Country Ski Center in Hawley, Mass., a success.
Forest Moon lights a path through cancer, but we can't shine that light without lots of help from individual, corporate and foundation supporters.
A fresh snowfall overnight and a crisp, bright January afternoon made for excellent trail conditions. And the hearty homemade dinner was a terrific way to relax and share the fun after an afternoon of skiing and snowshoeing.
We especially acknowledge Lloyd and Suzanne Crawford, our hosts at Stump Sprouts, and volunteers Edite Cunha and Betty Wolfson for serving a delicious dinner, and Dave Maxcy, Marianna McKimm, Rol Hesselbart, and Ken Simons for helping with rentals and ski lessons.
We also thank Sam's Outdoor Outfitters for providing prizes for the raffle.
All the funds raised will be devoted to Forest Moon's free support programs for cancer survivors and their loved ones in northern Massachusetts and southern Vermont and New Hampshire.
Upcoming programs include “Circus for Survivors” workshops at the New England Center for Circus Arts, 10-week writing workshops in Greenfield and Brattleboro, and a couples retreat in Jacksonville, Vt. Later in August, we'll offer a weekend retreat at Stump Sprouts.
