We all know that movement and exercise helps to keep us fit and healthy. But did you know it is vital to fight against infection during chemotherapy and helps to reduce the effects of treatment if the patient can manage even a few light exercises each day? By taking part in our favourite activities (in this case paddleboarding, cycling and walking) we are actually reducing the chance of a cancer diagnosis as well as maintaining muscle and bone strength, improving mental health, and having a great time as well.

As an ambassador for Guys Cancer Charity Geoff has spent the last couple of years trying to raise awareness of the incredible work that is done by the teams at Guys Cancer. These dedicated (and very nice 😁) professionals work tirelessly to tailor personal care that enhances the lives of patients through what can often be challenging circumstances due to their treatment.

Join with us on Sunday 20th August to celebrate the incredible work those professionals do, to celebrate the lives of every patient they save, as well as the lives of the ones who are not so lucky, to celebrate the courage every cancer patient has to dig so deep to find, to celebrate the support of their family and friends, and to celebrate YOU, for giving up your time to help with the fight against this wicked disease.

Bring the whole family down to The Paddle Cabin at Branbridges Leisure, East Peckham, Kent TN12 5HF and spend a day in the heart of the beautiful Kent countryside. You can sample the delicious home made food at Branbridges cafe, meet Ziggy and Valentino the friendly goats, or say hello to Spot and Chip, the resident dogs. While you are here why not try your hand at paddleboarding by having a lesson with one of the highly qualified instructors or maybe go for a riverside walk to one of the nearby pubs for lunch. Of course if you want to enter one, two or even all of the challenges you can do so by contacting Geoff at geoff22in22@gmail.com to join the team.
