To cancer survivors like Bernard Manning, Lance Armstrong’s fall from grace in the sports world was secondary to his commitment to helping cancer patients.
“I’m grateful to the LIVESTRONG Foundation for giving me the chance to take part in what the Y had to offer,” said Manning, now a fitness trainer at the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program in West Roxbury. “We still get to live strong.”
Despite the recent swirl of negative publicity surrounding Armstrong’s confessed use of performance-enhancing drugs and the loss of his Tour de France titles, LIVESTRONG at the Y in West Roxbury is committed to success and growth, program leaders said.
