INNOVATIVE BREAST CANCER ANGLING INITIATIVE ARRIVES IN WALES
Fourteen brave ladies (and Molly â" the spaniel mascot) enjoyed a weekend Fly-Fishing Retreat at Caer Beris Manor Hotel, Builth Wells, and at Llyngwyn from 11th â" 13th April at the first ever Casting for Recovery event to be held in Wales.
Casting for Recovery, a unique outdoor based programme, specifically designed for women who have, or have had, breast cancer, provides Fly Fishing programmes at idyllic retreats around the UK and Ireland. Fly Fishing offers proven benefits for recovering breast cancer patients. The casting action provides the gentle exercise recommended by physiotherapists for joint and soft tissue mobility.
The Caer Beris retreat was only the third to be held in the UK and first of its kind in Wales, and attracted several Welsh participants, who were instructed by members of the Welsh Ladies Fly Fishing team and members of the Rhayader and Elan Valley Angling Association. Local MP Roger Williams also came along to wish the participants well as they went fishing for the first time at Llyngwyn fishery near Rhayader.
Another Welsh retreat will be announced soon. For more information contact Sue Hunter on info@castingforrecovery.org.uk or write to P.O. Box 3611, Slough, Berkshire, SL3 3BY or see their website www.castingforrecovery.org.uk |
