The Silver Lining Sisterhood

We are the first (and only) all breast cancer survivor dragon boat and outrigger canoe team in Montana

The Silver Lining Sisterhood, now in its seventh year, began in spring 2015 as a small group of breast cancer survivors supporting each other post-treatment. Evolving organically, we found common ground in navigating life after the "battle." Our closed Facebook group, Silver Lining Support Group, now boasts over 350 members. Established as a 501c3 non-profit in 2017, we're dedicated to our mission of empowering survivors. Studies show exercise can reduce recurrence rates by 40-50%, a principle we embody. As our membership grows, so does our commitment to this cause. We welcome support in our journey to empower survivors in mind, body, and spirit.
