This morning my family attended the Living Well Pancake kick-off for the 5K Bridge Walk. First I should tell you about Living Well cancer resource center. For me Living Well was a place I could turn to for many reasons. Before I went into the complete "survivor phase" I decided to discuss different feelings I might go through. I also did nutritional seminars to learn about the super foods and good recipes to take home. I also did yoga to learn how my lumpectomy can effect my arm and how to stretch through exercise. As a triathlete yoga was a new form of exercise for me and also brought an element of spirituality to my journey.
Lastly, the great thing about Living Well is they offer all the services free of charge, such as:
*Weekly support groups for people affeted by cancer and their families
*One-on-one and family counseling
*Eduational seminars and presentations
*Mind, body and fitness programs
*Nutitional classes held in the demonstration kitchen
*Stress, pain and fatigue management through massage, art and other workshops
To conclude my family and possibly yours could join us at the 5K Bridge Walk in Geneva, IL on May 19th. Contact me for the registration form or go to www.livingwellcrc.org
