Mission Moments
Emily Shaw, Yadkin Family YMCA member, found the right classes and new friends at the Y.
We want to share Y Member Gary Bennett’s story: “It wasn’t until three years ago that I begin to make lifestyle changes that had a serious impact on my health and overall well-being. I attended my first Metabolic Group Exercise Class (ME) and knew that I had found something special…”
Recently, one of our Adventure Guide Tribes, Nosh Sitsi, helped to adopt a family in need for the holidays.
Jocelyn (Jay) and Jim Hamby are both cancer survivors. Before getting involved with the LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA program, they were struggling to get back on their feet. The couple heard about the LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA and scheduled an appointment to learn more. The Y instructors knew immediately that the program would be a great fit and encouraged them to join. That decision has improved both their physical health and their state of mind.
