Testimonials

We celebrate our accomplishments. We support and celebrate each other when we are happy, sad or hurting. Our classes are so important to us. It gets us moving and out of the house. Our monthly information classes are invaluable. I never fail to learn at each session.

A few years ago, when I first started the Program I stated “I feel like I have joined the land of the living” Through this Program we are meeting others, learning to positively cope with the disease, becoming physically stronger as well as have the security of knowing people who care who are professional, compassionate and there to support me when needed is what I sincerely thank you for.
