Strive 2 Thrive is a voluntary organisation established to service the cancer community within the Geelong region, working collaboratively with local allied health and exercise professionals to empower people who have had a primary cancer diagnosis and have completed treatment to regain a quality life and reduce the likelihood of a cancer recurrence through the provision of a structured, supervised and individualised program of exercise and healthy lifestyle education. The program is provided free of charge to participants.

Our focus is always on each of the individuals we serve, caring for and serving our participants with respect, dignity, integrity, responsibility and compassion. Our message is always positive, that together and individually we can effect change.

The content and manner in which we run our programs aims to -

• Inspire, rather than prescribe
• Encourage and engage, rather than "tell"
• Be based on high expectation for positive individual results
• Be delivered in a format that ensures that the exercise and lifestyle changes implemented can easily be continued and maintained by participants beyond the program.
