FITNESS ANGELS 501c3

 Diagnosis of Cancer is a devastating reality for the patient as well as the family.  Life as it existed ceases to exist with the whirlwind of doctor's appointments, medical testing etc. 

Did you know that the Benefits and Effects of Physical Activity and Fitness on healthy individuals are numerous? While the benefits of physical activity and fitness on someone fighting breast or prostate cancer can mean life or death?

• Prue, Cornie found  "superior levels of exercise following a cancer diagnosis were associated with a 28%–44% reduced risk of cancer-specific mortality, a 21%–35% lower risk of cancer recurrence, and a 25%–48% decreased risk of all-cause mortality".

As a four year survivor of Stage 3 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and an Exercise professional, I saw a need for more fitness and wellness activities for those battling cancer and their caretakers. As a cancer survivor, I can personally attest to the benefits of having participated in fitness and wellness activities prior to and during my cancer treatment. Fitness helped me to maintain my weight and muscle tone during chemotherapy, and reduce the stress of the associated  financial hardships. 

I believe wellness activities should be a part of the standard treatment, making it accessible to all, not just those with ideal medical insurance and that is why I became a Cancer Exercise Specialist and founded the Fitness Angels 501c3.
