Story
In 2026, we're celebrating our 10th birthday and we're excited to launch our campaign, Moving More Together, during Cancer Awareness Month.
Our aim: We want to get MORE people moving than ever before!
Exercise - all movement - is one of the most important things anyone diagnosed with cancer can do to enhance wellbeing and improve health outcomes both during and after treatment.
There’s increasing evidence to support this. A recent trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (June 2025), found that a 3-year structured exercise programme initiated soon after chemotherapy for colon cancer resulted in
“significantly longer disease-free survival and findings consistent with longer overall survival”.
There’s a growing appetite to learn more about the benefits of movement for those with cancer and we see this reflected in our own work at MOVE Against Cancer: we are currently setting up on average three new 5k Your Way groups each month and all our referral slots for the MOVE online programme are allocated within hours of them being released each month.
We know not enough people are getting access to the support and information they need. We recognise that there is more to be done to support underserved groups to engage in physical activity. Our vision is for every single person impacted by cancer to be able to live an active and fulfilling life.
By getting involved in our Moving More Together campaign, you're helping us ensure every individual impacted by cancer receives the necessary resources and information to engage in and maintain an active lifestyle.
