Fund-raiser set
for cancer
community’s
path to wellness
PUTNAM — The Hale YMCA’s Road to Wellness – LiveStrong Fundraiser takes on a special meaning this year, post pandemic, as residents unite to spin or road bike to raise money to support the cancer community’s path to wellness and recovery.  
The Road To Wellness event not only helps raise money for this vital program, it serves as the kick-off to the re-opening of Hale YMCA LiveStrong program on Sept. 21.
The Road To Wellness Event is a two-hour outdoor spin and road ride at Putnam Farmer’s Market Pavilion with the Y’s own Jenn & Earl. All skill levels are welcome. All COVID-19 protocols mandated by local and state health officials will be strictly followed. Join your friends and community to either cheer the riders on or to participate by signing up to register or give at p2p.onecause.com/haleroad2wellness
All proceeds stay local.
“Due to the pandemic, many cancer survivors and those in treatment lacked support groups and resources normally available to aid in their recovery,” said Amanda Kelly, executive director, Hale YMCA. “We are grateful to once again open our doors to the LiveSTRONG program and welcome our friends and neighbors back to our facility.”
“The LiveStrong Program at the Y is to me, very significant in maintaining stability of mind, body, spirt, and healing: a new beginning through all adversities of this dreaded disease called cancer,” said Holly-Ann Mayhew Gilbert, LiveStrong participant. “I became whole once again in physical strength, mobility and endurance.  My coaches, now my friends, gave myself back to me through unconditional love and support.  What greater gift is there?”
