A new session of Livestrong is starting at the Boothbay Region YMCA. Livestrong is an exercise class and support program for anyone undergoing or recovering from cancer of any kind.

The next session begins the first week of April and runs for 12 weeks. This session will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Participants work with trained Livestrong coaches Abby Jones and Lori Murray. The program is free for cancer survivors and a care giver. Call the Y (633-2855) today and ask for Abby to sign-up.

Class members may also meet the Y's personal trainers, such as in the attached photos with Livestrong members Bob Jackson and Christine Poirier.

If you think you might benefit from the good program, or know of anyone who has or had cancer, please call Abby at the Y.

This is an evidence based and researched program that has shown to enhance well-being and improve cancer outcomes.
