| MoveThroughCancer Spring Session 2008
 It’s time to get moving again! Cancer Connection’s new MoveThroughCancer Walk-and-Talk program will now offer a free physical activity group to get you moving and improve your survivorship. No matter what your fitness level, we’ll provide a safe opportunity to bring movement into your everyday life. MoveThroughCancer members—old and new—are invited to join us for these new complimentary sessions. Starting on Saturday, March 29, 2008, the new MoveThroughCancer group will meet at RunTex and walk on the Lady Bird Johnson Lake Trail. This weekly Walk-and-Talk group combines the benefits of exercise and social interaction. The group will be a guided program for all fitness levels and can help you incorporate exercise into your personal lifestyle. This ongoing group will be enhanced during the year with speakers, community events and learning opportunities to improve survivorship—including yoga, nutrition and emotional support.
The new MoveThroughCancer Walk-and-Talk Group:
Who: Survivors of all ages, as well as, types and stages of cancer.
What: Activity group for cancer survivors, friends and family. Participants

“I am thrilled to announce a new era of MoveThroughCancer. As part of our new partnership with Cancer Connection, our exercise and activity programs will resume at RunTex on Lady Bird Lake this month. Our same coaches and programming staff are still involved, and we all look forward to seeing you and your co-survivors on the trail again soon.
Several hundred survivors have already benefited from the MoveThroughCancer programs and we look forward to hundreds more joining us! Remember that whatever your current fitness level, we welcome your participation. Any step with MoveThroughCancer will be a step in the right direction. Let^s share it together. I have missed seeing many of you and look forward to more good times on the trail!”
