For 30 years, Casting for Recovery has supported women with breast cancer through the healing power of nature and fly fishing. This week, we revisit one of our favorite partners as Haley sits down with Stacey Benham, Director of Marketing and Communications, to discuss the organization's mission and an exciting new initiative that uses storytelling to connect with women who may need support.

Casting for Recovery provides life-changing experiences on the water, and now, through the Jane Project—the story of a drift boat created to honor women and their journeys—that mission is reaching an even wider audience. Haley and Stacey discuss how the Jane Project is helping raise awareness, why women continue to shape the future of fly fishing, and how community, nature, and time on the water can be powerful tools for healing.

To learn more about Casting for Recovery, watch the Jane Project film, volunteer, donate, or apply for a retreat, visit castingforrecovery.org.
