*Thank You

Thanks to all the important individuals, community organizations, businesses, and volunteers who showed support for Community Cancer Services in 2011. You made it possible for us to provide important programs to nearly 300 clients last year. The programs are helping clients improve some of the physical, social, and financial challenges they face while experiencing cancer.

*Grant funds exercise classes in Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry

Community Cancer Services (CCS) recently received grant funding from the Coeur d’ Alene Affiliate of Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to continue a project that provides an opportunity for breast cancer survivors to learn about and experience the benefits of exercise.

The grant funds monthly yoga sessions in Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry, providing access to gentle exercise classes for clients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. The program is being offered in Sandpoint for the second consecutive year and is making its debut in the Bonners Ferry area.

Yoga is a gentle and effective way to help cancer clients increase physical activity and strength and reduce fatigue, depression, and pain.

Special thanks to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, for supporting this important project.
