How you are making a difference...
LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a FREE health and wellness program specifically designed to help adult cancer survivors reclaim their health. Participants meet twice a week over a 12 week period, working with Y staff, to safely achieve their wellness goals and develop supportive relationships along the way. 
 
All proceeds from the Tri-Span 5K & 10K support the Livestrong at the YMCA program. The Y is honored to provide this program for cancer survivors and their families at our YMCA!
 
What Our Participants Are Saying
 
Alexandra C.
The emotional burden we feel after surviving a disease that puts us near death is a scary and heavy load that takes a long time to overcome, and it makes our full recovery very difficult. The Livestrong program gave me not only the fitness tools I needed to improve my physical health after a devastating diagnosis and treatment, but also the emotional support my soul needed to start enjoying the rest of my life.
Being around others that have suffered like me and survived it, has been a gift to me.
Having our family support in tough circumstances is key, but the community support I have received from everyone in the Livestrong program was exactly what I needed to start climbing out of the hole and being happy again.
