Changing Lives
One Vacation at aTime
Par t nership Commitment
We believe that the success of one,
feeds the commitment of another.
“Changing the lives of survivors, one vacation at a time.”
Partnership Philosophy
Send Me On Vacation is committed to working with corporate sponsors to build meaningful programs
that support those effected by the challenges cancer leaves behind. The organization uses dedicated
resources to develop programs that address the emotional healing process associated with surviving
cancer.
Global Reach
Send Me On Vacation provides survivor vacations that foster emotional healing, empowerment, and
peace of mind. Global sponsorship allows the organization to expand to cities, states and countries
throughout the world and change the lives of survivors while creating awareness within their
communities.
Local Involvement
Send Me On Vacation believes that local involvement is the first step in providing programs that build
stronger, healthier survivors in communities throughout the world. Local affiliations with hospitals and
cancer centers, support groups and business leaders, foster a strong connection between Send Me On
Vacation and survivors hometown communities.
Mission
Send Me On Vacation provides breast cancer survivors in financial need with healing vacations
to rejuvenate their body, mind and spirit.
Vision
The organization’s mantra of overcoming fear and fostering emotional fitness post treatment is
supported by the concept of vacation rejuvenation and genetic testing. Both subdue the fears
the survivor has for herself and her family. Supporting emotional fitness is a critical first step in
recovering from the devastating effects cancer leaves behind. The organization affiliates with
hospitals, cancer centers and other non-profit organizations to support this cause and change
the lives of survivors, one vacation at a time.
BRC Awareness
Send Me On Vacation and AEON Clinical Laboratories support the positive psychological
impact that awareness and knowledge of genetic testing has on managing the effects of
cancer. The program provides financial assistance for BRCA 1 & 2 testing to survivors who are
financially devastated by the cost of fighting cancer.

Our Programs
Survivor Vacations
We provide survivors with a vacation experience that serves as a catalyst, bridging the physical treatment
for cancer with the emotional healing process needed for complete recovery.
Survivor Empowerment Vacation
Our primary vacation program, "A Mermaids Journey", focuses on empowering survivors to connect to their
inner strength and natural beauty. Through guided meditation techniques, survivors can identify, visualize
and channel the negative effects of cancer and begin reconstructing an untouched perspective of
emotional wellness in their life.
Staycation
Staycations are designed for stage 4, metastatic breast cancer recipients. Staycations are shorter
getaways that provide a peaceful vacation experience close to home.
Medical Equipment Funding
We provide cancer detection equipment to areas without resources in North America to serve women in
need of screening for breast cancer.
Medical Missions
Working locally and globally to provide breast cancer awareness, education and medical services to
women of all ages, race and residency.
Genetic Testing
Send Me On Vacation and AEON Laboratories provide genetic testing to survivors and their families in cities
across America. Each year awareness and education events are held to spread the word and promote the
access of BRCA 1 & 2 testing.

You Don’t Need To Be Famous To Be Unforgettable
“There is a tremendous emotional component that goes along with surviving cancer. Attending “The Mermaid’s Journey
Empowerment Vacation” allowed me to work through and let go of so many of the negative experiences that I felt while
fighting cancer. The workshop transformed me and gave me the ability to access my inner strength & confidence and
brought me back to my loving nature.”
Gena
“Going on vacation to the Westgate Dude Ranch restored my family’s ability to just kick back and have fun again.
Riding horses gave me a sense of freedom I desperately needed. Roasting marshmallows around the campfire warmed
my heart and soul and connecting with my boys was priceless!”
Jacqueline
“Going on vacation was the perfect distraation in teh middle of my medical crissis. Taking this trip to Mexico the Real
Resorts in Puerto Vallarta to meet my relatives brought my live full circle. I had dreamed onf meeting them all my life and
don’t believe I would have had this chance without your help. After fighting cancer you start to feel like eveyrthing is
stacked against you but receiving this vacation makes me feel extrememly lucky!”
Yolande
“There really aren’t adequate words to describe the effects that the empowerment vacation workshop had on me.
Participating in the Mermaids Journey gave me a tool to use in rebuilding my life after being so negatively affected by
cancer. Having a life threating experience tends to push you into intense introspection resulting in a diminished sense of
self-worth and fear. The workshop changed my life and I realized that without having the ability to feel empowered and
inspired, I could not stand up to cancer! I now have a renewed perspective on life and I trust that the path I’m taking
forward is filled with strength and power. My only wish is that every survivor could be inspired by this transformational
vacation experience!”
