Strength for Life needs your help..

Help us continue to provide FREE exercise classes and wellness retreats for cancer survivors - your friends, family, neighbors or self.

Having a minute ( or hot second) to regroup after our 14th Wellness Retreat, we just want to share with your our immediate needs.

On Sunday April 26, 2015 at the Upsky Hotel in Hauppauge, we are holding our annual Recognition Dinner honoring two incredible women Carol Delvalle, ( survivor) that encomposses our motto - “to inspire, strengthen and empower” and Barbara Larrea who will be the recipient of the Evelyn Knapp Benevolent Award for her ‘outstanding” efforts to promote, raise awareness and funds for Strength for Life. Please consider joining us for the event - it promises to be FUN!

Not available to join on April 26th - how about joining Team ‘STRENGTH FOR LIFE” on June 13 for a 13.1 mile walk for the LI2 Day. Please read about our commitment to he LI2Day and their commitment to keep all the money raised right here on LI.

“...It has been a process for Strength for Life and our involvement with LI2Day and a most positive one at that. I will link the blog about how our relationship began but need to say that we have had an article in Newsday on 3/17/15 that brought over 100 emails and calls to us. 60 new survivors registered for our classes in addition to returning survivors. We now have 11 classes a week at 9 locations for the 2nd quarter session and that refers to $120 per individual for the quarter for classes. In addition, many have learned about our retreats which cost Strength for Life $250 per person.
