The Village of Pleasant Prairie is pleased to announce the launch of the RecPlex Living Well Scholarship, a program for individuals who are undergoing or have undergone cancer treatment within the past year with the goal of promoting physical and mental well-being through regular exercise.
Exercise has been scientifically proven to enhance energy levels, boost strength, and improve cardiovascular endurance, all contributing to overall good health. Research has also indicated that regular exercise can reduce the risk of some types of cancer recurrence. Regardless of prior activity levels, this scholarship offers an opportunity to embark on a path to better health through structured fitness activities.
