Strength for Life was founded in 2007 in memory of Evelyn Knapp, co-founder of the Personal Training Institute (PTI), who lost her courageous battle with breast cancer and who had a passion for exercise and made it a priority to continue exercising throughout her chemotherapy treatments. I started working at the Personal Training Institute in high school and it introduced me to the benefits of exercise and proper nutrition and I also had the pleasure of meeting Evelyn Knapp on numerous occasions. Her dedication and motivation helped inspire countless individuals to engage in a healthier lifestyle, including myself.
Strength for Life provides exercise classes and wellness retreats at no cost to cancer patients and survivors. Wellness retreats educate guests in total well-being for their mind, body and soul. A full day is dedicated to providing different classes such as Yoga, Meditation, Art Therapy and Reiki to participants so they may discover new methods of healing and coping in a supportive environment. Guest speakers from the medical and psycho-social fields provide valuable information on a variety of topics to participants.
Your donation will help improve the quality of life for individuals diagnosed with cancer by providing safe and effective exercise programs free of charge. Classes are designed to enhance the recovery process and also educate cancer patients and the general public on cancer prevention strategies through exercise and nutrition. These programs help cancer patients regain their strength both physically and emotionally.
Co-founders Jacqui Errico and Debbie Hughes, who I also had the pleasure and opportunity to work with and their passion and dedication to helping others through exercise is inspiring.
This will be my first Marathon and I’m hoping you will help support me and my goal to raise $4,000 for this tremendous charity!
