Summary
- Sarah Siedschlag was diagnosed with breast cancer after completing a marathon.
- She found a free exercise oncology program at Fit Studios.
- The program is led by a cancer survivor who tracks patient outcomes.
In 2021, Sarah Siedschlag received a breast cancer diagnosis shortly after finishing a marathon. This news was devastating for her, especially when considering her children. While undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments, Siedschlag sought answers.
A year prior to the current date, she learned about an exercise oncology program through a news report. This led her to the free program at Fit Studios in St. Louis Park, which was seeking 12 cancer patients for a pilot study.
The program's leader, Aaron Leventhal, is himself a cancer survivor. He understands the dual needs of patients: emotional support and scientifically-backed exercise regimens. Leventhal aims to provide clinical results that oncologists can trust.
