Survivors by the Sea was founded in 2006 by a small group of 10 cancer patients/survivors in Winthrop, Massachusetts.
They realized that, even though they had a good support network of family and friends, no one understood what they were going through like another patient.
Since then, the group has grown to over 100 members from Greater Boston and the surrounding area.
We’ve maintained the camaraderie and culture that the core group created. There is no formal agenda or meeting schedule. We hold our quarterly get-togethers in the casual setting of one of our homes.
The mission is unchanged; We give each other support, encouragement, laughter, motivation and hugs in whatever order they are needed.
Our logo sail reflects our Survivors’ many types of cancer, and the red buoy guides us safely to the end of the journey.
Please join us on Facebook where you can find up-to-date information about our events and support from our members. We would be happy to talk to you there. Our Facebook page is where we really connect with each other.
