OUR MISSION IN ACTION
“The YMCA is a very special place for Alex, and our
family. Cancer is incredibly hard on the entire family
for many reasons. Alex loves the Thrivers Club at
the South Tampa Family YMCA. His main goal after
finishing treatment was ‘how can I become stronger?’
His hospital doesn’t offer any programs after treatment
so I have mentioned this program to his doctors in
hopes that more kids will join and benefit. Thrivers Club
is everything! He never wants it to end! It should almost
become thrivers and survivors.” Larissa Dalton, mom
to Alex, 7, who has been battling cancer for the last six
years and is now in remission.
