Capital of Texas Team Survivor (CTTS) was formed in 1995 by four brave women who jumped out of their water exercise class into a full triathlon. Since 2001, CTTS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping women cancer survivors build a sense of power and accomplishments as they recover from their cancer experience. CTTS offers free educational exercise programs for women of all fitness levels in every stage of cancer treatment and recovery. These inspirational programs allow women to regain control of their bodies, their health and their lives.
Capital of Texas Team Survivor is comprised of a group of women who have experienced a cancer diagnosis and support each other through exercise and wellness activities. The team started with four women in 1995; today, several hundred women have participated in CTTS programs. All women who have had cancer, whether still in treatment or a 20 year survivor, are encouraged to join the team. Athletic ability is not required.
CTTS is coached by a wonderful mix of certified personal trainers and volunteer coaches, all of whom are focused on helping women cancer survivors make exercise a part of their everyday lives. They recognize that everyone has their own pace, and work with participants at that pace as they move through the program.
Capital of Texas Team Survivor (CTTS) provides emotional support and fitness opportunities for all women affected by cancer. Based on the knowledge that exercise improves strength and fitness, increases feelings of confidence and control, and counteracts side effects from treatment, CTTS inspires women mentally and physically to regain normal lives during and after cancer treatment.
As cancer survivors, our members have paid their dues. Thus, our programs are free and open to female cancer survivors from all walks of life. http://www.teamsurvivoraustin.org/
Close to 30 survivors will be participating in the Trek Women’s Triathlon on Sunday, May 17th.
We will also have a team at the Sweet and Twisted Tri in August for the 2nd year!
