Bloom, the Reach to Recovery International newsletter, promotes the exchange of current information on training, advocacy, research, volunteer and peer support. It allows women who have lived through breast cancer to tell their stories and share their emotional and psychological experiences. It reports on how groups organize programmes to develop breast cancer awareness in their community and give support to cancer patients. Bloom is published quarterly and distributed by email, free of charge, to all Reach to Recovery members and interested groups and individuals.
