We know the need.  We know that there is tremendous value in connecting with others who are on the same journey ? moving from surviving to thriving."

"We are doing all we can to make this day valuable, meaningful and fun. The one thing we know for certain is that the most powerful moments will come from people connecting with others who truly understand." ? Sue Dodson
