Meet our Warriors: Cathi

Cathi, Breast cancer, 2008.

Why did you join UW WELL-FIT?

I joined UW WELL-FIT to help me to combat the negative symptoms I was feeling, including fatigue and weakness.

Now, as a participant in the graduate program, I also feel that this exercise program is an integral part of my goal of preventing a reoccurrence of my illness.

How has the program helped you through the treatment process?

I believe that the positive and supportive attitude of the exercise staff and the many wonderful student volunteers has helped me to improve my physical function and emotional wellbeing.

What advice would you give those facing a similar battle?

I would advise anyone facing a similar battle to participate in this wonderful program and be amazed at how your life will be improved on a daily basis.
