Cancer Rehabilitation is focused on improving the quality of life and experience of people diagnosed with cancer. It is not focused on the disease, it is focused on people, and helping them get back to living.Many people emerge from treatment facing struggles far beyond their illness. If people miss out on cancer rehabilitation services unnecessary suffering and disability frequently occur. If people receive cancer rehab services, they have better health outcomes, suffer less distress from symptoms, experience less uncertainty and fear, and report better mental and physical quality of life over their lifetime.Medical treatment may save lives, but cancer rehab gives people their lives back.

Active Health would like to raise money to help people in our local Chrsitchurch and North Canterbury communities access cancer rehabilitation. More information on this event can be found on our facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/ActiveHealthNZ
