1 The Local Cancer Community Update of Submitted by: Tim E. Renzelmann February 15 th, 2018 SCCCF Survive, Thrive & Be Fit: Indoor Row Group Commemorates Winter Olympics with Biathlon! As the Indoor Row Group flyer states, The main focus of the Indoor Row Group is to have fun and support one another while rowing. One way we focused on the fun factor in February is by commemorating the 2018 Winter Olympics with our own biathlon! Our version of the biathlon involves rowing 2000m in four 500m segments with a shooting stage between each segment. Using special rubber band guns handmade by ST&BF survivor-athlete Bob Hartig (pictured in blue shirt below), participants take five shots at five targets and are required to row an extra 50m for each target missed. If you are interested in learning more about the Indoor Row Group, contact Tim! TLC Survivorship Session: Tuesday, February 20 th 6P to 730P Carrie Green (pictured above while participating in the ST&BF biathlon), cancer survivor and Sheboygan YMCA/LIVESTRONG representative, will explain the LIVESTRONG at the Sheboygan YMCA Program!

Cancer patients know the tremendous toll the disease and its treatment can take on your spirit, mind and body. LIVESTRONG is an effective way for you to heal and reclaim your health. LIVESTRONG instructors have undergone specialized training in the elements of cancer, post rehabilitative exercises and supportive cancer care!
