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 life long 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-fullfillment organizations stop at the age of 18, we aim to fill the gap of young adults that are often forgotten.

Victory Trip Experiences

Victory Trips have taken survivors to destinations all over the world from Japan to the Maldives. Victory Trips are a time of celebration after beating illness and a return to normal after recipients’ lives were disrupted. Read where Victory Trips have taken survivors and the experiences they’ve had.

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.”
