Physical activity was a big part of Davida’s life prior to her breast cancer diagnosis, and it was an important part of her recovery. She was shocked to learn that, despite the numerous benefits that regular physical activity has for breast cancer survivors, survivors are less likely to be active compared to the general population. Davida is on a mission to change this. She founded Fit After Pink so breast cancer survivors in the Akron area would have access to fitness programs that are safe, engaging, and empowering. A key component to Fit After Pink is building a community where survivors thrive and flourish. Whether you are newly diagnosed or are celebrating your 20th ‘cancerversary,’ starting a fitness routine for the first time, or chasing big goals, Davida wants you to know that you belong here.
