Your Impact
“I started the Livestrong program with very poor balance. During my initial testing my balance results were only 20 seconds. With the hard work of the program, at the time of my final testing I was able to balance on each leg for a full minute. I was so excited to max out the test & I feel much more confident in my day to day activities now.”
— Livestrong at the YMCA Participant
“I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease 13 years ago. As my symptoms progressed, my doctor recommended the Parkinson’s Wellness program at the Y. This exercise is so important to my wellbeing. It keeps me active, gives me more energy & helps me stay connected with my support system. This group is so good for me.”
— Parkinson's Wellness Participant
“The YMCA day camp is a great summer program. I know that my child is safe & having fun. She especially looks forward to the pool & play center days! This program really helps meet our families needs.”
