Why a SURVIVORship Cruise?
When you are going through your fight with cancer and even post cancer, you may feel so alone. This feeling could be overwhelming and can leave you feeling depressed and unwanted……well, that’s how I felt and some days, still feel that way. So, I created this cruise as a way to bring SURVIVORS of ALL cancers together to CELEBRATE life, EMBRACE the support from others, and find ways to LIVE our best life through the at sea workshops. By being on a cruise with other SURVIVORS, Care-givers, Family, and Friends, it will create a bond that will last a lifetime.
Who Should Attend?
SURVIVORS of cancer, heart-attacks, domestic violence, etc., care-givers, family, and friends. Anyone that has been affected by cancer or any other chronic illness that is looking for an opportunity to escape and be around others dealing with their new “Normal”, should attend.
Why Should YOU Attend?
No one knows how strong they are until being STRONG is all they can do. Join other SURVIVORS and CareGivers that understand what you went through and together learn ways to continue to push through your SURVIVORship journey. You will leave with a new, like-minded group of friends......OK, your new FRAMILY!
Workshops – At – Sea
The workshops at sea will provide inspiring and uplifting sessions that will empower our mind, body, and spirit. You will hear from speakers that understand what it means to fight for your life and to constantly think if the cancer will return. These workshops will tackle those thoughts and discuss ways to move beyond cancer by creating strong networks. The workshops are opened to EVERYONE.

Stage III Colorectal Cancer SURVIVOR
The Caraway Foundation, Founder and Executive Director
Angela is the founder/executive director of The Caraway Foundation since its inception in 2007. Angela has over 25 years working in the nonprofit industry by working with several nonprofits in Washington, DC. When Angela moved back to North Carolina in 2003, she had a strong desire to do more for her community. Though it took four years for Angela to create the Foundation, she knew that she had to do something. Angela found ways to raise money to support The Caraway Foundation and its programs - such as the Village of STRENGTH. Angela was diagnosed with Stage III Colorectal Cancer on December 29, 2015 and her life forever changed. She took her diagnosis and used it to encourage others with a chronic illness diagnosis. Angela shares that God gave her the vision to host the SURVIVORship Summit on a cruise ship to inspire herself and others to continue crashing through waves and to keep going forward. Join others like yourself and leave inspired to continue living your best life.
