 Dear Reader,
I hope your spring is off to a great start. We’re excited to have started planning for the 20th anniversary of our beloved Dipsea Hike! It will take place Saturday, September 24 in Mill Valley, CA. Deputy Director Anne-Marie Hartwig is currently looking for event sponsors. If you’d like more information about sponsoring, please reach out to her at
Our program staff has also been hard at work developing new initiatives. Next Generation Program Director Lianna Hartmour has enjoyed interviewing girls ages 5-7 and their parents/caregivers about our healthy activity program in development. She’s still looking for girls and their parents/caregivers, especially in Marin County! Do you know anyone who might be interested in speaking with Lianna for 30-60 minutes for $100? Families can receive up to $500 total if they give feedback throughout program development. Anyone interested can complete the form at zbclink.org/girlsfeedback or contact Lianna at
Meanwhile, Survivorship Program Director Catherine Thomsen is preparing for our 2022 free webinar series Health and Wellness After Breast Cancer Diagnosis. The first, Peripheral Neuropathy: Dealing with Nerve Problems After Cancer Treatment, will be next week on Wednesday, April 27 at 10 am PT. An expert from Stanford University and two survivors will share information relevant to professionals and survivors alike. We hope to see you there! Register to attend live or receive a recording at zbclink.org/nerve-webinar or contact Catherine for more information at
