Thank you for supporting PEDAL FOR A PURPOSE, a team cycle event raising funds to benefit our Y Cancer Survivorship programs, LIVESTRONG and YOUTHSTRONG!

LIVESTRONG began in March 2011 and engages cancer survivors through an approach that focuses on the whole person- mind and body. The free 12-week program provides a supportive community environment where people affected by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond. Since the program began in 2011, over 1,300 participants have engaged in the program. Participants work with trained Y staff to improve cardiovascular endurance and functional ability, build muscle mass and strength, and increase flexibility. In addition to physical benefits, the program also focuses on the mental health and emotional well-being of survivors and their families.

Watch Laura and Cayla's story:

YOUTHSTRONG supports youth 18 and under before, during, and after cancer treatments. Participants receive a free family membership for the entire year, which gives an opportunity for the family to be together and connect. Participants are able to receive free programming for the year or older youth, 14 and older, are offered the option of 24 free personal training sessions. By focusing on the whole person and not the disease, YOUTHSTRONG is helping youth move beyond cancer in spirit, mind, and body.

Watch JJ and Jedi's story:

Through your support, the Y is able to offer both LIVESTRONG and YOUTHSTRONG programs, at no cost to participants. Thank YOU for being a vital role in supporting cancer survivorships programs here at the Y!

We want to extend our appreciation to our sponsors for helping make this event a success!
