It's Time to Say Yes like Marla & Karen!
As we move into the 15th year of KWF this month, you might think you know how it started. You don’t. Most people think it started with a phone call to hospice that day Karen died in July 2007. Not true.
It started before that. Some people think it started when Karen said one day after chemo that it would be cool if our small family could go on a vacation each year and help send someone else in the chemo chairs next to her.

Our mission is simple. We send women and families LIVING with breast cancer on special vacations, relaxing spa days, concerts and other FUN-ONLY activities. Since 2007 our recipients have traded in chemo chairs and canceled plans for sunrise hikes and hot air balloon rides. Whether they are enjoying a relaxing spa day with friends or skydiving in their hometown, over 1,000 recipients have said "YES" to KWF. And we're just getting started!

Somehow just saying "thank you" doesn't seem like enough. But I hope you know how much your kindness has meant to us. With the medical bills pouring in, we knew there was no chance of taking a vacation this year. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the perfect getaway KWF planned for my husband and me. I loved my morning walks on the beach ... This past year has been nothing short of horrifying ... KWF put FUN back into our lives which had been gone." - Michelle
