Help Me Help Others

As some of you may know, I returned to the Greene County YMCA in September, but this time as its Executive Director. Every year we conduct an Annual Campaign to raise funds that are critical to the important mission work of our Y. One of the programs funded by this campaign, and most near and dear to my heart, is Livestrong at the Y. Like many of you, I know firsthand the devastation cancer can cause to the individual and their family. The LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program supports the increasing number of cancer survivors who find themselves on the journey from completing their treatment to feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to return to normal life. Please consider donating to our YMCA so you can help me, help others.

Neuromotor Wellness Program

Neuromotor Wellness is a research-based exercise program specifically for those with muscular degeneration challenges including but not limited to Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS, stroke recovery, and muscle injury.


The class is progressive and holds promise to slow disease progression, restore motor function, and increase longevity and quality of life.


Participants should be able to walk and stand unassisted. Caretakers are strongly encouraged to attend at no additional cost. Participants must have a waiver and medical clearance.

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA

LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA focuses on you — the whole person — not the disease. This no cost, 12-week program meets twice a week for 90 minutes, using traditional and holistic exercise methods to ease you back into fitness and help you maintain a healthy life.

We focus on:

  • building your muscle mass and strength
  • increasing your flexibility and endurance
  • improving your confidence and self-esteem

Plus, you learn about wellness and stress reduction techniques and how to continue healthful habits after the program has ended. Just as important, LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA provides a warm spirit of community.

Pedaling For Parkinson's

Pedaling a bicycle may change the life  of someone with Parkinson’s disease. Research conducted at the Cleveland Clinic showed a 35% reduction in symptoms by the simple act of pedaling a bicycle at a rapid pace – optimally 80-90 revolutions per minute.

The mission of Pedaling for Parkinson’s is:

  • To improve the quality of life of Parkinson’s disease patients and their caregivers.
  • To educate patients, caregivers, and the general public about the benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle after a Parkinson’s diagnosis.
  • To support research dedicated to the prevention and treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
