From Grape Stomping to Pole Walking

The secret to good health was once summed up in four simple words: Eat less, move more.

Here at the cancer Foundation we try to do our part by promoting activities that will benefit everyone's health.

If you have visited our Nordic Walk event web site, you probably saw some of the proven health benefits for people at all levels of fitness. Nordic Walking is effective, efficient, low-stress, low-impact, improves posture and speeds up weight loss. Do try it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

It's not just the nordic walk activity that is worthwhile, but the reason we are raising funds. The Maplesoft Centre is going to transform cancer care in our community by empowering people as they travel on their cancer journey. The coaching, programs and workshops are designed to help cancer survivors and their families improve their quality of life. The medical community concentrates on the disease. We are concentrating on the person.

You can help make this happen. Register for the Nordic Walk for Cancer Survivorship and discover the power of the poles...
