Diagnosed with Cancer—This YMCA Program Is Helping People Stay Strong
Welcome to The Movement! Join us as we celebrate 165 years of impact with the YMCA of Greater Kansas City.
In this episode, we explore the LiveSTRONG program at the YMCA — an evidence-based health and wellness initiative for those diagnosed with cancer. Hear the inspiring story of cancer survivor Maura, her supportive husband Ricky, and their coach, Kim. Discover how LiveSTRONG provides physical rehabilitation, emotional support, and mental wellness resources — helping individuals rebuild strength and confidence in their lives post-cancer diagnosis. Learn about the community, relationships, and personal growth fostered by LiveSTRONG at the Y, and hear inspiring stories that underscore the program's significance.
‘The Movement’ is the official podcast of the YMCA of Greater Kansas City, where we explore stories of transformation, inclusion, and community impact. From its roots 165 years ago to its vibrant role today, the Y continues to build strong foundations for youth, families, and neighborhoods. In each episode, we spotlight real stories from members, staff, and leaders who embody the Y’s commitment to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Tune in for inspiring conversations, local history, and the latest on how the YMCA is shaping a better future for all.
