Champions Against Cancer

One At A Time!

Help the Gym Dogs raise $100,000 for the Athens Regional Breast Health Center in honor of 1999-2002 Gym Dog, Talya Vexler. Talya was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003.

The Breast Health Center will be located in Athens Regional's Medical Services Building. The patient-centered design will create an environment unparalleled in patient access and convenience. The Center provides a dedicated team of professionals who work together to diagnose and determine the best treatment plan for each patient. In addition, the Center's Mobile Mammography Unit serves women who would not easily have access to screening mammography.

For every 9.9 or above at the six home meets, you can be a Champion Against Cancer.
