We use physical activity & exercise to improve the lives of people with cancer

Story

This cause matters to me as someone living beyond cancer who has taken up running for my physical and mental health.  MOVE and 5k Your Way help others to become active, grow in confidence and ease their way through life with and beyond cancer. I'm raising funds to help them employ a manager so that the work can expand sustainably.

My May races are postponed so I'm joining the #twopointsixchallenge and plan to run 26.2 miles per week (or more) for the 5 weeks from April 26th until May 31st. I'll aim to run a half marathon on or around May 10th, and a 10k around May 31st, which were my original race dates.
