More Survivors Qualify for Survive, Thrive & Be Fit!

More Survivor-Athletes Qualify for the Survive, Thrive & Be Fit Team!

Congratulations to our two newest survivor-athletes who recently earned their spots on the 2019 Survive, Thrive & Be Fit Team: Cindy Daane & Stacy Harriott (NOTE: I mistakenly reported that Stacy Harriott had earned her spot in June instead of Stacey Hand – sorry Stacey & Stacy for the mix-up and a belated congratulations to Stacey Hand)!

Survive, Thrive & Be Fit is designed to motivate and encourage area cancer patients and survivors to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle all in a fun and supportive environment with others who are in the midst of or recovering from cancer treatment. Every time an area cancer patient/survivor participates in any of our many Survive, Thrive & Be Fit activities they earn one activity point. Once they have accumulated five activity points or more they “earn a spot” on the ST&BF team along with their ST&BF T-shirt (and the right to wear it with pride) along with the many other benefits such as new experiences, lasting memories and meaningful friendships!

As you can see from the above table, we have moved ahead of last year’s total number of participating survivor-athletes as well as exceeded the total number of activity points earned as of August 31^st but we are falling behind in the total number of survivor-athletes earning five points or more to qualify as team members (however, there are several survivor-athletes who are only a point or two away). If you’ve never participated in any of the many ST&BF events/activities... I hope you’ll consider joining me along with many of the current members of the ST&BF Team during the month of September, when there are plenty of opportunities being offerd!
