ABOUT THE BREAST CANCER RECOVERY FOUNDATION:
Mission: The mission of the Breast Cancer Recovery Foundation, Inc. (BCRF) is to provide environments in which women may heal emotionally, spiritually and physically from the often devastating disease of breast cancer.
The Breast Cancer Recovery Foundation was established in 1997 by Ann Haney, an administrator for the Wisconsin Division of Health who coordinated breast and cervical cancer screening programs throughout the state. Through conversations with many of the women she met through the screening programs, Ann recognized that for many women, the loss of a breast can be a loss of feminine identity. Ann understood that healing of the heart and mind was essential for a full recovery. Shortly after leaving her position as a state official, Ann was diagnosed with breast cancer. She conceived the BCRF on the premise that for many breast cancer survivors, the completion of medical treatments marks only the beginning of the path to a full recovery. BCRF's flagship program, Infinite Boundaries, is a four-day wellness program that provides a safe setting for breast cancer survivors to focus on their emotions after breast cancer. Designed by breast cancer survivors for breast cancer survivors, each retreat features a unique mixture of healing approaches, including sensitive discussions, creative arts and outdoor adventures like kayaking and bicycling.
