The YMCA of the USA and LIVESTRONG have partnered together to promote the importance of physical activity after cancer diagnosis. Survivors participate in free or low cost customized exercise regimens at their local YMCA, and each Spring, those who have completed the twelve-week program at their Y come to Blue Ridge for a weekend of rest and retreat, free of charge. Our goal is to encourage the hearts and restore the souls of these special guests. The LIVESTRONG Survivor Retreat is a sweet time of fellowship, reflection, learning and renewal.
