SEANA O'NEILL: Former media producer turned cancer support agent. GET INVOLVED!

SEANA O'NEILL has created a program that allows people to donate their cottages for a week each year to families battling cancer. For the families on both ends of the equation, this is an incredible gift. Cottage Dreams provides a place for families to connect with each other and build positive memories during a challenging time. In her first year, she successfully placed five families. Five years later she has placing over 500 families a season. Her career in media gave her the tools she needed to find her way to raising over $100,000 at her first charity event. Her plan is to provide even more families with the gift of rest, relaxation and togetherness within the quiet context of nature.
