In addition to the local news, WXPR Public Radio also likes to find stories that are outside the general news cycle... Listen below to stories about history, people, culture, art, and the environment in the Northwoods that go a little deeper than a traditional news story allows us to do. Here are all of the series we include in this podcast: Curious North, We Live Up Here, A Northwoods Moment in History, Field Notes, and Wildlife Matters.These features are also available as a podcast by searching "WXPR Local Features" wherever you get your podcasts.

Cancer Survivor Takes Back Her Body

 

   A Northwoods breast cancer survivor has taken her body back thanks to a local workout program. WXPR’s Miranda Vander Leest has that story…

Gloria Baker says after her 12 weeks are up with the LiveStrong Program, she will continue her workout routine on her own.

The LiveStrong Program has been around since 2007 and is part of the YMCA’s annual support campaign. Marilyn Duschl says about 12 people go through the free program each year.

For more information contact Duschl at the YMCA of the Northwoods, or visit their website.
