[Susan Loy]

Hi everyone! My name is Susan L. (There are at least two other Susans in the group last night on Zoom) and I live in Middletown. So, not close to Pittsburgh! I am grateful for the online opportunity to get moving more and interact with others on their cancer journey and those supporting folks on a cancer journey. I have ovarian cancer, stage 4b-so I will always be on some kind of treatment. My cancer is aggressive, so we’re hoping to slow it down. But I am happy that there are more options now than there were 10 or so years ago. Looking forward to working out with everyone!

Jen is a wonderful and supportive facilitator and arranges for many informative speakers.I attend the monthly GI support group and Jonette’s Thursday morning exercise class – it is excellent.I volunteer with the children activities (Boo Bash and Bunny Bash) when I can, including Camp Clubhouse in the summer.I’m looking forward to meeting you and for Happy Feet to help me to be active during this cold winter.

[Leeann Antol]

Greetings Happy Feet Warriors! My name is Lee Ann and I live in the City of Pittsburgh in the Friendship neighborhood- only about 2-3 miles from Cancer Bridges. I am a caregiver to my life partner of over 20 years – David. He has stage 4 stomach cancer. Things are stable now thankfully, so I have to seize the moment and work on building strength, endurance, great gut health, etc. I have some health challenges of my own including an autoimmune disease (RA) and lots of IBS issues. I tend to overcommit and then get overwhelmed but I have released myself from lots of commitments so this will be my year to finally focus on health and fitness. I stil have a backlog of old business but I will plug away on that too. I am ready so the timing of Happy Feet is wonderful. Thank you Jen and Cancer Bridges!!! I joined Happy Feet on the last round but was late to the game so I am really ooking forward to going all in this time. I am going to the Walk, Run and Lift app now. See you soon! Let’s go!!!

[Susan Leininger]

Hi My name is Sue and I was diagnosed with CLL August 1st 2025. Cancer Bridges has been the best resource ever. I have joined the monthly CLL support group which is very awesome and the people in the support group have encouraged me in so many ways. I will be unable to join you today at 12n due to a prior commitment. Will be back with the group on Thursday! Stay warm everyone.
