Evelyn Knapp "Run to Remember" and Wellness Walk
Join us as we celebrate our 6th Annual Evelyn Knapp “Run to Remember”. Evelyn loved this tough cross country course spanning the hills of Sunken Meadow State Park, known to all High School Cross Country teams - cardiac hill, snake and others.
There is something ‘active’ for the whole family - a Kids Fun Run, 3K Welllness Walk on the Boardwalk and the challenging 5K Cross Country Course. Come share the experience with your family and know that you are helping Strength for Life continue to offer FREE exercise classes and wellness retreats to cancer patients/survivors throughout Nassau and Suffolk.

As you may know, Strength for Life is a non- profit organization providing FREE exercise classes and wellness retreats to cancer patients/survivors on LI. Our immediate purpose is to help cancer patients feel their absolute best, to regain their ‘strength for life’, improve their daily functional activities, quality of life and self-esteem. The ultimate mission is to educate the medical community on the benefits of adding exercise to the treatment and recovery plan. We continue to accomplish these goals by providing 3 Retreats in the last year and by holding classes at the following locations. This year, alone, we have ‘hands on’ helped 302 cancer survivors regain their ‘strength for life.’
In addition we satisfy our mission by continuing to speak at support groups and reaching out to the individual medical doctors who clear their patients to participate in our programs. In doing so we continue to add additional locations with their support (i.e. Monter Cancer Center, Lake Success)
Classes
· Stars Rehabilitation, East Meadow
· World Gym, Wantagh
· Winthrop (Breast Cancer only)
· Winthrop (All Cancers)
· Dolan Family Health Center, Huntington,
· Mather,
· Southampton Hospital, Hampton Bays
· Stony Brook Cancer Center,
· Bay Shore Breast Cancer Help,
New locations: Monter Cancer Center, Southside Hospital and Brookhaven Hospital

Strength for Life’s retreats are designed to offer different approaches to healing. Our retreats provide you with the benefits of relaxation, rejuvenation and the development of new life skills you can utilize to achieve optimal wellness.

Although each retreat differs slightly our overall theme of educating on alternative modalities remains our focus.
Wellness retreats are held at the Hyatt Wind Watch Hotel in Hauppauge, NY. It is an overnight stay with all classes and speakers taking place on the first day, the second day is for you to enjoy the hotel amenities and absorb your experience.
To date we have assisted over 1500 cancer patients/survivors with our classes and retreats - all with your help.
