Spin for Strength, October 11th ...."An Epic 2 Hour Ride"
Barbara added another 15 bikes...come and be part of this awesome fundraiser...ride in memory of one of your warriors.
On behalf of Strength for Life, we would like to thank Barbara Larrea and the World Gym of Wantagh for organizing this incredible event, “Spin for Strength”. The contributions received will help Strength for Life continue on the mission of providing FREE exercise classes and wellness weekends to people living with cancer and survivors. Since our inception in 2007 we have helped over 1000 cancer patients/survivors feel their absolute best!
As you may know, Strength for Life was formed in memory of Evelyn Knapp, an exercise physiologist, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2005. After Evelyn’s diagnosis, she continued to exercise saying it gave her a feeling of control in an uncontrollable situation. Aside from the psychological benefits of exercising during treatment, studies have shown that there are many physiological benefits as well. The newest ACSM guidelines suggest that patients who exercise through treatment have up to a 50% increase in survival rate.
Kudos to you for joining the ride, sharing the event or donating and helping Strength for Life to help others.
