When Alice was diagnosed with childhood cancer, her family began looking for ways to help her stay active, build confidence, and have something to look forward to during a difficult time.
That’s when they found Youth Strong.
Through Youth Strong, Alice found opportunities to swim, do gymnastics, stay active, and most importantly, just be a kid. For her parents, the program became a meaningful part of their next chapter.
“I was like, ‘This is what we need.’ We need some version of hope. And for her to have some sort of hope and something to look forward to in the worst times—you can’t measure that.”
Youth Strong is about helping children and families impacted by childhood cancer find connection, confidence, and moments of joy through the Y.
