First Descents: Adventure, Healing, and Community for Young Adults Facing Serious Illness

A serious diagnosis can be life-altering, but it doesn’t have to define a person’s journey. First Descents is on a mission to empower young adults impacted by cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other serious health conditions through life-changing outdoor adventures.

Their programs provide participants with the opportunity to step beyond their diagnosis, challenge their limits, and find strength in a supportive community. Whether it’s kayaking through wild rivers, climbing rugged cliffs, or surfing ocean waves, these experiences inspire resilience, confidence, and a renewed sense of self.

PETALs Program

How much do you know about Breast Cancer?

Tigerlily Foundation’s Peer Education Through Awareness and Leadership (PETALs) © Program is our flagship educational program, focusing on educating young women about their breast health. Our goal is to ensure that young women 1) Learn the facts; 2) Know their bodies; 3) Speak up for their health and 4) Embrace Support.

The PETALS © Program focused on educating young women ages 14 – 18 about their bodies. Using age-appropriate modules, we educate young women about their breast health, teach them how to conduct breast self-examinations and give them information on prevention, wellness and body care that will empower them to live healthier lives.
