Thank you, every effort helps..and this is how:
Testimonial of client served (via Great Non Profits) class
I found out about Strength for Life from my daughter’s mother-in-law who saw an article in a hospital bulletin about it. I had just finished chemo 4 months earlier for ovarian cancer and although I was feeling better, I still felt weak and fatigued. I joined the class in Nassau County. It was a small group, but we all immediately bonded. Jacqui was a wonderful leader who really knows what she’s doing. She customized the exercises for those of us who couldn’t do the traditional methods. Her encouraging attitude enabled all of us participate and benefit from the exercises. When I started, I could barely do the exercises, but after a couple of more classes, I felt stronger and was able to do them. More importantly, it was not only exercise, but it turned into a support group. Even though we all have a serious illness, at no time was it ever sad. It was an upbeat and supportive environment and with lots of humor throughout each session. I am so thankful for Jacqui and for the wonderful people in my class. Thanks also to Strength for Life for this program and for the exercise ball, bands, and mat. It hardly gives me an excuse not to continue to exercises at home.
This is such a worthwhile service. I hope it keeps on going and grows.
Testimonial of client served (via Great Non Profits) retreat and class
I am so fortunate to have shared a wonderful retreat with other women who share similar diagnoses. Strength for Live is a non-profit agency geared towards those who are directly affected from breast, ovarian and other cancers. The mission of Strength for Life says it all. Collectively through volunteers, survivors, and healing practitioners, we learn how to become strong mentally emotionally and of course physically. The spectrum of ages is no barrier when surrounded by love, support and unconditional acceptance. This organization is powerful and there is not one out there which compares. I am privileged to have taken part in the retreat which is filled with laughter, education, and practitioners who share a common goal, health and then the next step is, how do we get to there together!?
I have also participated in the 8-week strength for life program. It was the first time since I worked out since surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. The instructor, Jacqui is pure motivation and she tailored the work outs so each and every one of us was able to full participate given our ‘physical’ limitation. I highly recommend Strength for Life. Upward and onward we go!
