About The Cycle & Founder Mia Vaske

---

The Cycle is a non-profit organization that focuses on improving women's health. It aims to address the physical, mental, and social well-being of women, going beyond surface-level conversations.

Here’s a more detailed look at The Cycle’s activities and mission:

The organization aims to support women's health, organize meaningful fundraisers, run awareness campaigns, and provide resources to educate and give back, both locally and globally. They also focus on providing local solutions by distributing feminine products to schools in Southwest Florida and to churches in need across different countries.

The Cycle organizes fundraisers and awareness campaigns both locally and internationally to raise funds and distribute feminine hygiene products.

The Cycle hosts a monthly podcast that discusses topics related to women's      health, including challenges with menstrual cycles, expert advice, interviews with medical professionals, global issues, and promotion of events and fundraisers.

The Cycle is proud to be a part of some amazing Women's Networking organizations and to support women in business that are impacting lives and making a difference in our community. The more we connect, the more we grow! Building a "Net" that "Works" is what Cycle Connect is all about!

The Cycle's website offers information on various women's health issues, such as menstrual cycles and mental health, and provides support and a list of resources, including doctors and clinics, to assist women with their health.

Mia's work with The Cycle, Kids CAN, and Teen of Impact reflects a commitment to women's health, cancer support, and heart health awareness.

Mia aims to combine her networking associations with the Women in Business Network of the Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce and other women's groups to raise awareness for women’s health and wellness. 

 Mia plans to collect feminine products to be distributed to areas in need through the Good 360 organization. The Cycle focuses on distributing feminine products to schools in SWFL, and churches in other countries. 

Mia is heading up KIDS CAN in SWFL to raise funds for families impacted by cancer. This directly ties into one of the programs of The Cycle, the "Cancer Alliance Network".

Mia was named “Teen of Impact” for SWFL by the American Heart Association. She plans to hold events and fundraisers for the organization. The Teen of Impact program inspires young people to take action for their own hearts and the hearts of others, and nominees create Impact Teams that raise money for research. The American Heart Association has been fighting heart disease and stroke for over 100 years.
