Welcome to Cancer Foundation for Life

The Cancer Foundation for Life® (CFFL) is a non-profit organization founded in Tyler, Texas in 2001. The foundation is dedicated to increasing the quality of life for cancer survivors. Dr. Gary Kimmel, a retired oncologist, started the foundation to better the lives of cancer survivors through exercise. Our goal is to rehabilitate cancer survivors to their maximum level of strength and independence so they may achieve a better quality of life.

FitSTEPS for Life®, our program that includes aerobic exercises, muscle strengthening and stretching techniques is specifically designed for debilitated participants. To our knowledge, CFFL provides the only free, structured, individualized program of unlimited duration. >more
