With the guidance of the staff and volunteers at PACE, I am realizing that I am stronger than I think.

Having a long term injury is not just about reducing the pain so you can move again, it is also about the mental part of healing. With the guidance of the staff and volunteers at PACE I am realizing that I am stronger than I think. They are there to encourage me past my fear of moving just in case I hurt myself, they are there to provide further understanding of my program. They are non-judgmental and encouraging. They are there to give a smile while I am sweating my way through my program. The staff empower me every time I go to the gym. I am so grateful to be a part of the PACE group.

When I think of PACE, the first words that come to mind are 'family' and 'love'.

When I think of PACE, the first words that come to mind are “family” and “love”. Without fail, visiting PACE continually proves to be the best part of my week. The PACE creates an inviting environment that makes you want to come back. In fact, I continuously find myself coming to PACE outside of my scheduled hours because I miss the positive atmosphere. Our members are a truly inspiring group of individuals and their optimism, drive and loving spirits are contagious in nature.

Now, eighteen years into my MS journey, I have found exactly what I need...MS-FITT!

I was an athlete my whole life prior to being diagnosed with MS and even the first ten years after diagnosis. Then, overnight everything changed. Now, eighteen years into my MS journey, I have found exactly what I need…MS-FITT! I must sincerely thank everyone who makes this program possible. McMaster University, the sponsors, PACE staff and volunteers. The personalized exercise program is phenomenal and is helping me immensely. It’s frustrating to have your abilities ripped away from you, but it’s amazing to have a place and the help to get some back. You help to make this happen, to make my life better.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
