Our Story
Hope Chest was born from a deep friendship and a shared passion for fitness. Founded by Laurie Hyzy and her friend Nina Sacco, the organization emerged from Nina's inspiring journey as a breast cancer survivor. Despite her diagnosis, Nina's commitment to exercise and wellness fueled the creation of a unique program aimed at helping others like her. Since January 2000, Hope Chest has been dedicated to encouraging breast cancer survivors to embrace an active lifestyle, fostering both physical and emotional healing.
