HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Team B4BC rider Kimmy Fasani!! Not only is Kimmy a stellar snowboarder, but she’s also an amazing supporter of B4BC’s Survivorship Fund and hosted her own “It’s Personal” dinner last year with husband Chris Benchetler based around how cancer has affected their loved ones, which benefited B4BC’s support programs. Help us wish…
As a part of B4BC Survivorship Week we wanted to introduce you to our friend, Kendra Starr, who is an accomplished doctor in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Kendra has accompanied our survivor wellness retreats these last few years to offer treatments and holistic advice to the breast cancer survivors who have attended these wellness weekends.
Before I was even diagnosed, Mother Nature was my doctor. I would look to her for inspiration, joy, relief, release, grounding and healing in general. So of course when it came down to this last year of intense therapies, hospitals, clinics, ivs, and everything that comes with that, I knew I could count on Her.
This week for Tasty Tuesday, we invited Team B4BC surfer and environmentalist Liz Clark to give us the run-down on how she lives her life for Earth Day everyday. Check out her blog article below detailing a comprehensive guide to eating that will keep both you and the earth healthy, and her thoughts on eating meat, seafood, and GMO’s. Even if this is the only Earth Day article you read today, you can feel good about learning how to make a difference!
As part of our Survivorship Week, we want to highlight a personal story from 28 year old Danielle Bauman who was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 26.

We’re still nostalgic over the final stop of B4BC’s Shred the Love Winter Series where we returned to where B4BC was born, beautiful Lake Tahoe. Over 8 days, eight events took place on and off the mountain from Truckee to Norden, Calif., introducing young faces to Boarding for Breast Cancer and welcoming those that have supported B4BC since Day One. Families, friends, Pro Athletes and the industry came together to celebrate in epic weather conditions.
