How Surviving Strong Began
Meet Susan
In 2004 our founder heard the words "you have cancer" and the prognosis was not all rainbows and glitter.
Thrown into a world of protocols, she turned to fitness as a means to take control and do something to make her stronger while her treatments were making her weak. On her journey she found others that were similarly looking to be ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN LIFE and together they found support through action.
