Esther Nache has been a member of the YMCA since 1994, and this last May she graduated from LiveSTRONG, our cancer support program.
Esther says, "Going to the YMCA, I feel, has been an investment to my health and recovery. The time that I have spent at the YMCA I have taken advantage of the programs and support it has offered." Her daughter, Cecilia adds, "I [want you to] know how grateful we are for the encouragement and support that The Two Rivers YMCA and The LiveSTRONG program has given my Mom. She definitely takes strength, determination, courage and will to an undescribable place. She has always been a dedicated member of The Y. So for her to get herself back somewhat to normal after her Cancer diagnosis has been important.
Funny thing is, unknown to her, she was preparing to rebuild her physical strength back for a 5k walk on June 3rd at The 25th Annual Cancer Survivors' Celebration Walk at Northwestern University! It was such an accomplishment for her and for us to see. So thank you again to all who form part of this collaboration because with the love, faith, support and encouragement she did it!"
