    It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month! So we’re here today with the Director of Casting For Recovery, Faye Nelson. She provides a behind-the-scenes look at the organization with the mission to provide outdoor healing retreats for breast cancer survivors.

    We find out how you can get involved in breast cancer awareness, how they hold 55 events a year around the country, and how they manage to get going with an almost all-volunteer-based labor force. 

    For over 25 years, women from all walks of life have benefitted from CfR’s inspiring program model. How does it work? Why is this an important topic? And how does breast cancer affect the lives of these women? Listen to the episode to learn more.
