Help Us Empower Cancer Survivors: Support REVIVE
Donation protected
We are Jo Anna and Kristin, certified exercise for cancer instructors, and we’re thrilled to introduce REVIVE: Support for Cancer Recovery—a nonprofit program dedicated to empowering adult cancer survivors from diagnosis and beyond. Our mission is to provide compassionate support through personalized movement and wellness services that help survivors rebuild strength, enhance endurance, and foster mental resilience.
Ongoing care is crucial for cancer survivors, and movement plays a vital role in their recovery. Through REVIVE, we aim to educate participants on the importance of physical activity for their overall health and well-being. Our community-centered program offers tailored support to help survivors reclaim their lives and thrive.
With advancements in cancer treatment, survival rates are increasing, and many people are living longer. As a result, many survivors recognize the need for a healthier lifestyle or want to return to their previous fitness routines but aren’t sure how to get started. That’s where REVIVE steps in—to help them plan and embrace a sustainable fitness lifestyle for the future.
Your support will make a difference in the lives of cancer survivors as they navigate their recovery journey. Thank you for helping us launch this important initiative!
Why We Need Your Help
To make our vision for REVIVE: Support for Cancer Recovery a reality, we need your support to cover essential startup costs.

- Facility Rental or Partnerships: $1,800 - Securing safe and accessible spaces for our classes and workshops is vital. This budget allows us to rent facilities or establish partnerships with local organizations.
- Instructor Training and Certifications: Ongoing Costs - We prioritize offering high-quality support, which requires ongoing specialized training in exercise oncology for our instructors. This investment ensures our team is well-equipped to meet the needs of survivors.
