What is it?
ActiveMatch is a free website and app designed to help women who have been diagnosed with cancer to connect with exercise partners. It is a service aimed at supporting and guiding these women to start and continue a healthy exercise routine, and stay active throughout their cancer treatment, or after treatment. ActiveMatch is currently available in the Greater Toronto Area as a starting point, however they are hoping to expand across Canada and are asking anyone with an interest to contact them. If there are no matches in a given area, online or phone support is still available.
Our thoughts:
ActiveMatch is a helpful resource to for connecting women with cancer and supporting them to stay active by exercising together as a pair or small group. Member’s profiles are held in a secure web space and only members can view each other’s profiles. Anyone with questions or needing advice is encouraged to contact them.
