Since 2011, Sailing Heals has brought over 4,800 guests out on the water to experience healing sails. On occasion, special focus sails beyond cancer have been offered including nurse appreciation sails, and sails for survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing. We are grateful for the collaboration of respected medical organizations, the gracious hospitality of yacht owners, the sailing community, our corporate sponsors, and our individual donors.
My experience was wonderful.It was so relaxing to be out on the sea where I could escape from all my daily stresses and truly relax and heal!I also enjoyed the company of my sail mates and getting to know them.We shared stories of courage, hope and healing.Thank you to Sailing Heals for this day of serenity on the sea and thank you to all the captains and volunteers, a true gift of love!
Dealing with cancer, pain and anxiety tends to take over one's daily focus. Spending the day on the water transports one to a place far from health issues. It's an experience I will look back on when I need to quiet the internal noise of living with cancer.
