Inspire, Educate, Celebrate The Stowe Weekend of Hope is an annual forum for education, enlightenment and recreation for cancer patients and survivors with any type of cancer...and their families and caregivers.  The focus of the event is to inspire, education and celebrate the lives of people living with cancer.  This unique event addresses the complex challenges and needs of people with cancer at any stage of their disease.  Cancer presents families with many challenges - physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial.
