Reeling & Healing – Renew Spirt, Renew Hope.

Reeling-&-Healing-Midwest

Reeling & Healing Midwest is a non-profit organization that is 100% donor-supported with a 100% volunteer staff, that champions fly-fishing wellness retreats for women and men battling and surviving cancer.

“The sport of fly-fishing has endured for thousands of years. Its therapeutic powers are renowned and have been well documented. Cancer has yet to be eradicated. Its destruction to the human spirit is unique to each individual affected, yet understood by all who walk the path to overcome the disease.”

“When the human spirit, combined with courage and faith to overcome cancer, meets up with a river and the chance to fly-fish, well, magic just seems to happen. How do we know that? Many years of experiencing the magic at Reeling and Healing Midwest’s retreat programs shows this to be true. Each individual who participates in the Reeling & Healing Midwest Retreat Programs is touched in a way that renews their spirit, their joy, their hope and their view of life. It truly happens…every single time.”

Reeling & Healing’s mission is to provide participants with a one-of-a-kind experience, on and off the river, which renews their spirit and hope through the elements of fly fishing, nature, peer coaching, positive camaraderie and support.

Recently, fellow flyfishergirl Kathy Scott passed along Cathy Sero’s (President – Reeling & Healing Midwest) information to me. This came on the heels of forum member fflutterffly sharing her story of a sister who has battled cancer twice in her life, the first time at the tender age of 27.

fflutterffly is an endless promoter of women in fly fishing and is constantly organizing a fly swap or donation for a worthy cause, and this time she is organizing a fly donation for Reeling & Healing.

If you would like to donate to this cause, please register on the forum, and pm fflutterffly. For those who do not want to tie, The Fly Stop has offered to donate a few extra flies for each order placed through them when mentioning this fly donation program.
