In Loving Memory Of Margaret "Peg" Kinch June 3, 1951 - January 1, 2010

Peg was one of our most inspiring "Survivor Divers"
She enthusiastically met every challenge and always wanted to be underwater. Becoming a certified diver was a great accomplishment for Peg.
She made the most of everything she did. She dove in Hawaii with the Manta Rays, The living seas in Orlando, with the manatees in Florida, and even encouraged her children to get certified and dove with them.

We love you Peg and will miss your Enthusiastic attitude.

Four Generations; Elizabeth, Elsie, Lisa & Jennifer. Two have died of Breast Cancer I am going to stop that trend...

Our mission as a non profit 501(C)(3) is to enhance the quality of life for breast cancer survivors. To empower each individual to bring greater wellness & healing into their own lives. To raise awareness about the prevention of breast cancer by declaring war not on a disease, but on the perpetrators of that disease.

In 1977 at the age of 44, my mother, Elsie Bergman, was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a radical mastectomy. In her words, "I no longer have one of my breasts, but more importantly, I no longer have breast cancer." She decided it was time to really start living her life to the fullest.

She always wanted to be a scuba diver, so in 1978 she and I took scuba lessons and became certified. Scuba diving became her passion; she worked for and received her scuba instructor's license and started sharing it with others by teaching.

My mother and I were able to share hundreds of dives in the Bahamas, until she passed away in 2000. I was in awe to see how her spirit came alive. Being underwater, weightless and surrounded by beautiful fish and colorful coral, she felt happy, peaceful and grateful to be alive. Cancer was no longer a fear to be controlled by, but a freedom and insight that life was truly a gift meant to be shared. Today I am carrying on my mother's passion to bring this joy to other breast cancer survivors, by introducing them to the adventure and peace of scuba diving.
