“I arrived sick, fragile and yes, broken from this dreadful disease; I could hardly climb the stairs. But two days later, I walked out strong, with a smile on my face and God's spirit singing loudly in my heart. You ladies literally saved my life- and I thank you from the bottom of my open, happy heart." C.M.

Marys Place by the Sea provides an innovative approach to caring for women during and after treatment. Guests are provided with unconditional care during their time of extreme need at NO COST. It is the mission of Mary's Place by the Sea to give women with cancer a place to rest and recuperate during and after the rigors of their cancer treatments. The volunteers care for these women so they may focus on their healing gaining strength to win the battle with cancer. Guests are welcome to stay a few hours or a few days, if needed. Some of the services offered to guests are oncology massage, nutritional counseling, guided meditation, yoga, journaling, spa services and more.
The first care center was opened in the summer of 2009 and they just finished building a 10-bedroom home so that they will never have to tell a woman she has to wait to receive these services. Over 5,000 women have been been guests at Mary’s Place by the Sea and have come from England to Alaska to experience the love and support. Fundraisers like this are helping build the home and continue the mission to help women across the nation fight cancer.
