LIVESTRONG® is a physical activity and well-being program designed to help cancer survivors achieve their holistic health goals.

Participants work with specially trained Y staff to achieve goals such as building muscle mass and strength; increasing flexibility and endurance; and improving confidence and self-esteem.
