CanCare Happy Walking Group – Cantonese & Mandarin (Require enrolment with coordinator)
It is well known that exercise has many general benefits for physical and mental well being. Recent researches suggest that exercise benefits most people both during and after cancer treatments, including easing off some common side effects of treatments, improving treatment outcomes, speeding up return to usual activities and maintaining quality of life.
Objectives of CanCare Walking Group: 1. to engage cancer patients in regular, beneficial and highly sought after exercise options; and
