| Dear
Friends,
The
Cancer Survivor Center recently has passed the first
hurdle in the grant application process with the Lance Armstrong
Foundation. Our community implementation grant “Cycling
for Life” is being now being reviewed for funding. If
this grant is awarded, the Cancer Survivor Center
will be offering a unique group fitness class for survivors
only starting in January 2008. We will keep you posted regarding
the outcome of their review.
I recently
attended the National Meeting of the American College of Sports
Medicine where I presented a research paper written by the
staff of the Cancer Survivor Center. Our paper titled ”Physical
Function of a Breast Cancer Survivor Followed for One Year:
A Case Study received quite a bit of interest mostly for the
novelty of our approach to training cancer survivors during
and post treatment. As always, we will continue to be a leader
in the area of exercise programming for survivors and will
present our findings to professionals in the oncology/exercise
fields in order to disseminate our findings—RK.
Last,
remember to save the date: August 17th at the Given Institute.
The Cancer Survivor Center will be hosting a Cancer Survivorship
Symposium. The event will be open and free to the public.
