What’s a Victory Trip®?


Battling a disease like cancer is emotionally and physically draining. A ‘Victory Trip®’ is a vacation or experience allowing the recovering patient and a companion time to recuperate and reset while fulfilling a lifelong dream. It’s an opportunity to inspire hope, celebrate their victory over cancer or illness, and begin a new chapter after fighting for their life. Since many wish-fulfillment organizations stop at the age of 18, we aim to fill the gap of young adults that are often forgotten.

OUR VISION

We aim to create a relationship where our survivors feel understood, supported, loved, and included in our ever-growing 17 Strong® family. For us, it’s not just a trip. It’s a family of survivors and supporters using their trauma to inspire and comfort others.

“This trip felt like closing the door on a long and difficult fight. Our lives were put on hold and this trip marked the end of that. It gave us a chance to finally take a breath and get back to normal.”
