While a donation is not required to participate in the Fit Fest, we would greatly appreciate any support you would be willing and able to provide. The North Lexington Y is a proud host of the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program, and could use your help to support the program over the next year.
In 2011 we partnered with the YMCA of the USA to launch LIVESTRONG at the YMCA, a 12-week physical activity program designed to get survivors back on their feet here in central Kentucky.
Researchers from Yale University and Dana Farber Cancer Institute were involved to conduct a research study on the impact of the program on participants’ cancer-related outcomes. It was found that participants experienced significant increases in physical activity, overall quality of life and fitness performance as well as decreases in cancer-related fatigue.
Participants join our trained coaches for 12 weeks of specific exercise for their needs along with support of a group to help encourage them in their journey.
Please consider using your network to raise even more money to support this special cause by "becoming a fundraiser" or starting a fundraising team.
Staff and volunteers will also be available at the event to accept donations on-site if you would like to avoid the processing fee, or pay via cash/check.
Program is additionally supported by CHI/St. Joseph and Central Bank.
