The mission of Team Survivor Tampa Bay is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle and provide organized opportunities for physical fitness, wellness education, and psycho-social empowerment among female cancer survivors. Our programs are open to women of all ages and fitness levels, in all stages of cancer treatment and recovery. Many of our participants are first-time exercisers or are returning to fitness after a period of time; others are experienced athletes. No matter what their background, all of our members enjoy the support provided by working out with women who share similar experiences & goals as they regain control of their health, their bodies and their lives.
TSTB is a not-for-profit 501(C)3 corporation run solely by volunteers. Participation in training sessions and educational programs offered by TSTB is free of charge for its members, and when possible, our team competition events are underwritten (fully or partially) by our sponsors.
Our fun and supportive programs offer women the opportunity to:
-Improve their fitness and strength in a safe and supportive environment
-Receive emotional and social support from other team members affected by cancer
-Help counteract fatigue and the side effects of treatment
-Increase feelings of confidence and control
Currently, TSTB provides training and opportunities for competition in Dragon Boat racing (http://pinkdragonladies.blogspot.com/), swimming, bicycling, running (including triathlon training), and walking. The organization is open to offering additional activities as interest is identified and resources and leaders become available.
Team Survivor Tampa Bay also provides educational programs (e.g., nutrition, fitness, wellness) and technical training sessions (e.g., bicycle maintenance, athletic footwear).
