Dear Editor:

Calling cancer survivors — who want to "Livestrong!" A new "Livestrong” class is forming now at the Boothbay Region YMCA. Livestrong is a wonderful, 12-week, small group exercise and support program, developed by YMCAs and the Livestrong organization across the country. It is for anyone who has had cancer (even years ago) or is currently undergoing cancer treatment. Participants share stories, learn from each other, and find encouragement. You'll work with our trained and caring instructors ... and best of all, it's free.

If you have heard about Livestrong at our Y, you have heard good things. This class will improve your quality of life and make a real difference in your health and happiness. You can even bring a partner or "caregiver" when you come, and they can always join the class.

This is a wonderful program, for men and women of all ages, designed to get you moving at your level and ability. Much of the program involves gaining strength and "living strong."

If you might be interested, call 633-2855 ASAP.

We would like to schedule a class time that works for you.

Abby Jones
