At YMCA Queensland, we believe in creating communities where everyone can thrive—especially those facing life’s toughest challenges. The Cancer Survivor Report 2024 highlights the ongoing impact of our Cancer Survivor Program and how it continues to support individuals on their recovery journey.

Empowering Survivors Through Community and Movement

The journey beyond a cancer diagnosis can be physically and emotionally overwhelming. The Cancer Survivor Program provides a safe and supportive environment where participants regain strength, confidence, and a sense of normalcy. Through specialised exercise sessions, tailored wellness programs, and community engagement, the program fosters holistic healing beyond treatment.

Key findings from the report: 

  • Improved Physical Wellbeing – Participants reported increased strength, stamina, and flexibility, helping them return to everyday activities with confidence.

  • Mental and Emotional Resilience – Engaging in the program contributed to reduced anxiety and depression, fostering a renewed sense of self-belief and motivation.

  • A Sense of Community – One of the most valued aspects of the program is the connection with others who understand the journey, providing invaluable emotional support.

The Power of Support 

The report emphasises the importance of ongoing community support for cancer survivors. Y Queensland is committed to ensuring that no one faces their recovery journey alone.
