| Hello friends, family and supporters of Melanie.
Thank you for donating to First Descents in Melanie's honor. Although Melanie can no longer push her own athletic limits, through this fund she will be able to help other young adults affected by cancer find inspiration and courage by challenging themselves with outdoor adventures.
Melanie is an inspiration to so many, showing us by example how to "live everyday". Throughout her life, and through her battle with this disease Melanie really "lived life". She traveled to many places, she continued snowboarding, swimming, running and biking as long as she could. Melanie repeatedly surprised her doctors, friends and family with her determination and drive.
Your contribution here will help provide other young adults with cancer/cancer survivors with adventures that Melanie would enjoy. First Descents provides the programs free of charge to the participants. It costs approximately $1000 per person for a one week program. Your donations will go toward the program cost for participants.
Here's to living well everyday, and trying to follow Melanie's example. If you would like to share thoughts or stories about Mel, please post your comments at http://melaniestribute.blogspot.com/ |

swimming in the Mediterranean. This was
the first time she was able to swim in a while and she
was ecstatic. |
