Our very own Donna Wiegle attended the recent Downeast Living With Cancer Conference held in Bar Harbor, ME on November 1, 2018.
She was interviewed by WABI TV, Bangor, where she spoke about what the conference offers women and men living with cancer.

Donna, who lives with her husband and 2 dogs on an island off the coast of Maine, runs a small health center and Eldercare Outreach program, which serves a year-round community of 350 residents (~1000 during the summer). Although she has Stage 3B low-grade serous carcinoma and will always be in treatment, Donna doesn't let that stop her from riding her beloved Harley Davidson motorcycle around New England and Canada.
In October 2012, a dream was realized for two dynamic ovarian cancer survivors: Anne Tonachel and Robin Bray. Their dream was to provide a restorative retreat for other ovarian cancer survivors in the northeast. When the amazing Kennedy family of Camp Kieve and The Kennedy Learning Center provided the retreat space (in honor of a family member with ovarian cancer), this restorative retreat was born.
