Your Donation Helps Cancer Survivors Regain Strength and Connect with Supportive Community
We know how important physical activity can be while recovering from cancer. According to research from the Yale Cancer Center and Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Institute, participants in our LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program experience improved fitness and quality of life, as well as significant decreases in cancer-related fatigue.
In partnership with the LIVESTRONG Foundation, the YMCA has developed a small-group cancer survivorship program for those who are living with, through or beyond cancer. Meeting twice a week with specially trained instructors, participants build strength and confidence through exploration of new exercise formats and activities.
Cancer survivors and their caregivers partcipate in this program at no charge and also receive a free YMCA membership because of generous donors like you.
