Mountain Retreat, Blowing Rock, NC

July 2016

Pam was diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2015. She went into surgery to remove a tumor from her lung and began chemotherapy followed by 36 rounds of radiation. She is a fighter whose mantra is "Bless on!"

Pam's wish was to enjoy a mountain retreat in Blowing Rock with her sister and her best friend, Nan. This experience gave the women a much-deserved retreat (Pam and Jan are caregivers to a number of children in their extended family). As well, they were finally able to fully process and mourn the loss of their beloved father, who passed away in 2014 just prior to Pam's diagnosis.
