Story
Being diagnosed with cancer means people face an extremely tough journey, including close friends and family. There is so much thrown at you both physically and mentally during treatment and it doesn’t just stop there. I got diagnosed with Sarcoma and Lymphoma in September and October 2019. I have always been an advocate for promoting health and fitness and MOVE is embarking on a mission to inspire people to #MoveAgainstCancerMOVE provide practical and online support to people living with and beyond cancer. The focus services on children and young people living with and beyond cancer and also a wider age range through their new 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer initiative linked to parkrun. From first getting on my bike in May 2020 to now has made me appreciate even more the importance of exercise for both physical and mental health. Because of this I want to take on this challenge of cycling almost 1000 miles and raise money for this charity so they can continue to help others with this important work.
