“In life, we face all types of challenges, and I can truly say the YMCA always gets me back to my happy place. The Staystrong program helped keep me going throughout my cancer treatments, staying mentally and physically fit. Now I’m honored to give back and help assure others have the opportunity to participate in this life-changing program.”

“Living in a coastal community with young children, I knew how important it was for my kids to learn water safety skills,” said Julian’s mom. “Knowing Julian is now comfortable in the water and is learning these life-saving skills at the Y gives me peace of mind. He’s learning how to come into the water when invited, how to pull himself out, how to float. I am so thankful to Bailee and the whole team who have helped Julian thrive.”

“I first came to the South Shore Y with a walker and a goal to focus on my recovery. I had a bad accident that damaged my back and the nerves to my leg. The Partnership Team here was able to help me transfer my rehabilitation exercises to the machines and other equipment here at the Y. The Partnership Team is always willing to help out and is determined to help me get to my goal of walking without the concern of falling. I’ve regained much of my mobility and have the team here to thank for taking the time to work with me. They helped me so much that I look forward to returning the favor and begin volunteering in the program as a way to give back to a community that helped me so much.”
