LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA
In 2007, the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the YMCA of the USA created LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a physical activity and wellness program for people affected by cancer. The YMCA is the perfect partner: with nationwide accessibility, the YMCA maintains exceptional recognition, trust and credibility in community health and physical activity. Through a four-year collaboration, the physical activity and wellness program will be embedded and rolled out into the entire YMCA movement. Ongoing research shows the benefits of physical activity in reducing fatigue, improving mood, muscle strength and physical endurance after completing cancer treatment. With 12 million cancer survivors living in the United States today, it is increasingly important that cancer survivors have access to an exercise environment that is both safe and accommodating to their needs.
