another virtually while offering a bit of support and

encouragement (we can all use a bit of that these days)

and sharing a few stories, insights and ideas!

Following our first TLC Local Cancer Community

VIRTUAL Update session early last week I received some

very positive feedback from participants:

“Like myself, I’m sure these virtual connections mean a lot to many people who have come to rely on the connections and encouragement they receive through TLC & ST&BF.” – Chris Meyer

The Local Cancer Community Update Submitted by Tim E. Renzelmann ⚫ April 15th, 2020 News, Events and Activities in the Local Cancer Community including the

“I did enjoy the opportunity to see the smiles and hear what others were up to, etc. I think it will be a wonderful new option under the circumstances.” – Althea Smith

Consider joining us for any of these currently scheduled TLC Local Cancer Community VIRTUAL Updates:

• Every Monday morning at 9A.

• Every Tuesday evening at 5:30P. (see NOTE below)

• Every Thursday morning at 9A.

NOTE: On Tuesday, April 21st (which has traditionally been the evening of our TLC Survivorship Session) I will present the talk I had prepared for our March TLC Survivorship Session (which was cancelled due to COVID-19) starting at 6P. See attached flyer for details.

“Don’t Give Up! Don’t Ever Give Up!” – Jimmy Valvano “Live. Just Live!” – Stuart Scott We all need a “pep talk” every now and then! At least I

do! Often, when I’m feeling tired or discouraged or

demoralized... I think of what I consider to be one of the

most inspirational talks of all time. I remember

watching Jimmy Valvano accept the Arthur Ashe Award

at the ESPYs on February 21st, 1993... a few months

after completing treatment for my initial cancer

diagnosis. His message and those seven powerful words

– “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up!” – would be so

very helpful in the

years ahead, as I faced

multiple recurrences.

It is a timeless

message that I found

myself returning to

recently and that we

may all benefit from

at this time.

View the Jimmy V acceptance speech here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHKzH6zR8xE

Sue Zalewski, one of our many active Survive, Thrive &

Be Fit survivor-athletes over the past couple years,

recently stated what many of us are feeling when she

wrote, “I can’t wait until this is over and I can see my

fellow survivors again.” But Sue, like so many others, is

not just idly waiting... but is embracing Jimmy V’s

motto: “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up!” They are

finding ways to Survive, Thrive & Be Fit even amidst

COVID-19! Check out the photos and comments and see

how some cancer patients/survivors are responding to

the current situation: www.scccf.org/contests.

Physical movement, activity or exercise (whatever you

want to call it) offers powerful benefits for body, mind,

heart and spirit... during good times... and especially

during challenging times such as these.

As Covert Bailey described, “If exercise were a pill, it

would be the most widely prescribed medicine in the

world.” But like most medicines... it only works if taken

in its prescribed dosage and frequency. In the case of

exercise, for the most part that means at least 30

minutes of moderate intensity activity at least five days

a week.

According to the HHHS.gov website:

• Adults should move more and sit less throughout the day. Some physical activity is better than none. Adults who sit less and do any amount of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity gain some health benefits.

• For substantial health benefits, adults should do at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) to 300 minutes (5 hours) a week of moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) to 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity. Preferably, aerobic activity should be spread throughout the week.

• Additional health benefits are gained by engaging in physical activity beyond the equivalent of 300 minutes (5 hours) of moderate-intensity physical activity a week.

• Adults should also do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity and that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week, as these activities provide additional health benefits.

I recently received an e-mail from Kathryn Kuhn, who is currently undergoing treatment for recurrent breast cancer. I wrote about Kathryn a few months back. Following her original diagnosis in 2011, Kathryn “tried to stay as healthy and fit as possible. By July 2012,” Kathryn explained, “I was running up to 3-5 miles several times per week. Over the next few years, I completed a couple of half-marathons. In 2016, I signed up with a CrossFit affiliate near my work. At least 3 mornings per week, I started my day by meeting the challenges of those workouts and growing in strength and confidence.”

Since a recurrence of her breast cancer in late 2018 she

has been in continuous treatment. She transferred her

care to Dr. Bettag in fall of 2019 and, shortly thereafter,

she joined the Indoor Row Group and has participated

Page 3: The Local Cancer Community Update3. A few minutes before the meeting start time, go to . lick on “Enter a Meeting” and enter the appropriate Meeting ID number and Password (see

in other ST&BF activities as well. What has Kathryn

been up to since we suspended all of our group

activities due to COVID-19? She recently explained:

“Since April 1, I’ve walked and/or done yoga workouts EVERY DAY, to the point where my self-competitive brain is once again engaged, and I’m committed to keeping my steps-per-day and total time in motion per day at a higher level. NO BLANK SPACES ON MY SPREADSHEET is my goal this month... After some rough bloodwork, a few weeks ago, things are looking much better. My tumor marker continues to decline, too, back to numbers I haven’t seen since my 8 years of remission. I decided to challenge myself to be even more active even when I feel a little bit “low” during this round of treatment (which I had on Monday). Yesterday, my usual 45min walk route took an hour, but I did it! AND I haven’t had to take any extra anti-nausea meds so far either, so the theory keeps proving true - the active mindset HAS to be helpful...

Stay well!!”

NOTE: When Kathryn refers to “NO BLANK SPACES ON MY SPREADSHEET” she is referring to SCCCF’s ST&BF

Active Survivors of Sheboygan Activity Log!

Photo Left (L-R): The Beacon of Hope along with Carrie Green of LIVESTRONG and Kathryn Kuhn at the start of the 2019 Doug Opel’s Run for the Kids on Thanksgiving morning at the Sheboygan YMCA!

Another ST&BF survivor-athlete, Mike Brachman, who is also a member of the ST&BF Indoor Row Group, took it upon himself to purchase a personal indoor rower after our IRG sessions were suspended. Mike becomes the eighth IRG member to enjoy the rowing experience so much as to invest into and purchase their own erg! That says as much about these dedicated survivor-athletes and how much they value exercise as it says about the enjoyment of rowing as an enjoyable form of exercise! And I know Mike will be back rowing with us as soon as we reinstate IRG sessions as he explained, he is “Missing the gang!” because, even though he can still row, Mike admits, “Rowing is truly more enjoyable with the group.”

Please know that as soon as it is safe and appropriate, we will reinstate various Survive, Thrive & Be Fit activities! Of course, Social Distancing will most likely be a part of ST&BF activities well into the future but know that WE WILL NOT GIVE UP! WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP!

And... we will continue to support... encourage... and inspire one another! As Jimmy V explained, he was inspired by many, including the great Vince Lombardi. Jimmy V went on to inspire countless others including Stuart Scott as demonstrated by his acceptance speech when, in 2014, Scott was the recipient of the Jimmy V Perseverance Award. In his acceptance speech Scott poignantly stated, “You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live. So live. Live. Fight like hell. And when you get too tired to fight then lay down and rest and let somebody fight for you.”

View Stuart Scott’s Acceptance Speech HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TdF07xO-eo

Whatever challenges you may find yourself facing today... whether it be cancer, COVID-19 or any of an almost unlimited number or combination of challenges, remember what Jimmy says, “Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up!” and what Stuart says “Live. Just live!”

SCCCF “Survive, Thrive & Be Fit” Gentle Yoga for Cancer Survivors Virtual Session (via Zoom)! I am thrilled to announce our FIRST Survive, Thrive & Be

Fit “Gentle Yoga for Cancer Survivors VIRTUAL Session”

(via Zoom) scheduled for five consecutive Monday

starting April 20th at 5:30PM!

See attached flyer for details!

SCCCF “Survive, Thrive & Be Fit” Steps to Survivorship: Chalk the Walk! Since last week’s update area state parks, trails and

properties have been closed due to overcrowding (as

well as vandalism and litter) in the wake of COVID-19.

As we discussed at a recent TLC Local Cancer

Community VIRTUAL Update earlier this week, that may

result in more congestion along popular urban paths

and routes such as those on the attached maps.

But don’t give up! Don’t ever give up! Adapt and adjust!

One very effective step in avoiding crowds, from my

experience, is to walk/jog/run early in the morning! It’s

a great way to start the day!

And, while you’re at it, grab some sidewalk chalk and

share some messages of hope and encouragement with

Page 4: The Local Cancer Community Update3. A few minutes before the meeting start time, go to . lick on “Enter a Meeting” and enter the appropriate Meeting ID number and Password (see

come across a chalk message you want to share

consider submitting it at www.scccf.org/contests.

Will Wisconsin’s “Safer at Home” Order Expire or Be Extended?

There are early signs that Wisconsin may be successfully mitigating a severe COVID-19 outbreak after about three weeks under Gov. Tony Evers’ unprecedented “Safer at Home” order which was implemented on March 25th and is currently scheduled to expire on April 24th. It remains uncertain whether or not the order will be allowed to expire or be extended. There is also much uncertainty about how individuals, businesses, organizations and groups will be asked to comply with government-mandated or expert-recommended social distancing practices, which will surely either be required or strongly recommended beyond the date of the “Safer at Home” order.

Speaking to reporters on April 10th, Evers assured, “Science will determine what reopening (the state) looks like and when that will happen.” In follow up, the state’s health department secretary-designee, Andrea Palm, pointed out, “We used a variety of tools before we got to ‘safer at home.’ We assume we will use a variety of tools as we manage this in a more active way moving forward.”

The last thing anyone wants after lifting the “Safer at Home” orders that have prohibited social gatherings, closed businesses and restricted travel is to have a resurgence of the virus!

When the time comes for our “Local Cancer Community” to begin to reinstate various events and activities, be assured it will be done with thoughtful care and caution and it may require new policies or procedures, whether temporary or permanent.

I share this with you now to help you (and me) prepare for possible changes including (but not limited to):

• Required pre-registration for all events and activities.

• Strict limits on number of participants to allow for proper social distancing.

• COVID-19 symptom assessments required for all participants prior to participation.

In the meantime... consider joining us for some VIRTUAL opportunities!

NOTE: I did my best to insure all Meeting IDs, Passwords and links (as well as dates and times) are accurate... but I

apologize in advance for any inaccuracies! 😊

Survive, Thrive & Be Fit! Steps to Survivorship

MAP: Shoreline 400/Kiwanis Please use caution at all driveways, crossings and intersections! The course is marked with this symbol on the pavement every 500m (typically on the east or north side of the walkway). START/FINISH : at the bench near the “Shoreline 400” sign on north side of Penn Ave just west of the intersection of N. Commerce & Penn Ave. Follow this path (north) using caution at both street crossings. After crossing the foot bridge (the old RR trestle) turn right (east) along the path and follow the N.

Survive, Thrive & Be Fit! Steps to Survivorship

MAP: Southside Utility Corridor Trail Description (from www.sheboygancounty.com): In early summer of 2019, Sheboygan County completed the Southside Utility Corridor Trail. The trail runs between CTH OK and 18th Street primarily in the Town of Wilson. Trail connections to the Town of Wilson dog park exist on both the east and west ends of that property. Two small parking areas exist on both termini as well. Though relatively short in length (3/4 mile) the trail offers pleasant scenery and access that was not available prior to its creation.

Correction (from Tim): Based on my measurement, the trail is actually 800m (1/2 mile) long from one end to the other or 1600m (about 1 mile) when walked out and back.

Location: East Terminus – Just north of S. 18th St. & Sunnyside Ave intersection. West Terminus – Just east of CTH OK/Business Drive & Moening Rd. intersection.

Start at either the east end (nearest the Town of Wilson Dog Park) or the west end (nearest Country Village Apartments). Below photos from www.sheboygancounty.com
