Cancer survivorship is not for wimps...
The day you hear that you have cancer you became a survivor.  Those who are with you in your battle also survive with you.  Learning you have cancer, the crash-course in oncology, the treatment and the after effects are a challenge.  But like all challenges, this is an opportunity to be strong, stronger perhaps then you ever thought you could be.

Medical research has overwhelmingly supported the benefits of fitness on a cancer survivor's quality of life and survival rates. Despite the known benefits, doctors seldom encourage patients to pursue healthy lifestyle modifications.  Survivors, with the best of intentions, often do not know where to start or how to achieve their optimal fitness.  Surviving Strong will help bridge that gap.
Surviving Strong is actively working to build a network of survivors, coaches, instructors, mentors and opportunities that will allow survivors and their support network to incorporate fitness into their daily lifestyle.



Surviving Strong’s Mission:

  • Educate cancer survivors, their support network, their medical community and the community at large about the benefits of physical activity and balanced nutrition
  • Build a network of mentors, instructors and personal trainers to provide cancer survivors with the knowledge and encouragement to achieve their fitness goals
  • Create opportunities to incorporate fitness through access to gyms and health clubs, seminars, and social events
  • Be a shining example of the strength and ability of cancer survivors
