I am Erin Redding, and I am a 3rd year student at Quinnipiac University in the Physical Therapy Program. My passion for Oncology stems from a close family member’s diagnosis of cancer and the relationship they formed with their physical therapist and exercise. My education has provided me the opportunity to explore many aspects of physical therapy, and after learning about the positive impacts of physical activity, I knew I wanted to engage in a capstone project that focused on exercise for cancer survivors. The development of this project has been extremely eye opening to the need for educating survivors and clinicians on the significant benefits of exercise on overall quality of life. Building this resource has been extremely rewarding and my hopes are that the spread of this information will help many cancer survivors feel safe and comfortable exercising so that they are able to return to the activities they love. I am very thankful to have been able to work alongside those who share the same passions as me and want to spread this information to survivors and clinicians through the creation of this website.
