Strength for Life and the LI2Day

Strength for Life, a nonprofit organization providing free exercise classes and wellness retreats for cancer patients, is a beneficiary of the LI 2Day Walk. The LI2DAY was organized to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer and other cancer research, to benefit cancer sufferers, survivors, and their families, and to support organizations that are participating in such efforts.

The LI 2Day which has changed its’ format to 13.1 mile, one day walk was held on June 11th, 2016. The walk takes participants along a scenic route overlooking the Smith Point Beach and then through the local neighborhood.  Participants had a wonderful lunch and then head back to Smith Point Bridge in the final procession and celebration of survivors which ends with a closing ceremony. 

If you have not had the opportunity to participate or view this awesome event you will be amazed at the emotional celebration of these survivors. Mark your calendars and keep an eye out to become involved, this is an event worth your time and efforts.

Strength for Life is proud to be a beneficiary of the LI2Day walk, we invite supporters to join “TEAM STRENGTH FOR LIFE” and be a part of this inspiring event!

To our friends at LI2Day "Thank you so much for your support of $18,700 this year.  As you know this is a tremendous help to our small grass-root nonprofit, and both your faith and support is extraordinary.

We have really been able to grow throughout Long Island with your help. Strength for Life currently holds 11 class a week spanning from the Queens border at Northwell Health out to Southampton Hospital, helping a total of 1700 survivors in our short lifetime. And as you may know, we just hosted our 19th Wellness Retreat on September 19–20, 2016 at the Hyatt Windwatch offering 20 new cancer patients/survivors an overnight escape from their daily responsibilities and the opportunity to learn new tools to renew the mind, body and spirit. 

Strength for Life expanded the programs to pediatric cancer patients and their families in 2016, this has been a slow start but it is gaining momentum. Below are the results of our surveys after the class participation. Unbeknownst to us at the start, the psycho/social aspect of these classes exceeds all expectations.

It is a continued pleasure to work with everyone involved in the LI2Day, from day one we felt welcomed, appreciated and supported in everything we attempted to accomplish, and for that we are grateful.

Thank you so very much Ginny Salerno, Kristie Moore and everyone at LI2Day. 

Thank you to our walkers 'our team', our volunteers and our supporters.
