“NExt” Exercise boost energy during cancer treatment

One of my best friends from high school recently graduated from UBC with a degree in Human Kinetics. She is now working for an amazing program that prescribes exercise and good nutrition during cancer treatment. The program is funded by BC Cancer Society through various fundraising efforts, such as Workout to Conquer Cancer. I found it amazing to hear about the program, and the one on one attention that these patients receive through their treatment.

The Vancouver Sun recently published a story on the program, and they said that so far the woman unrolled in the program have seen an increase in fitness, strength and endurance as well as an increase in energy during their treatment. The article is attached below so you can take a look!
