Get fitter, not fatter 🤪 · 10 April 2022

The 4 Cancer Group organises days out and short breaks for families affected by cancer. This is what we call "respite". Our respite trips have been creating memories for families affected by cancer since 2001. From sailing days to short breaks at UK holiday parks, we give families something to look forward to during the most difficult of times. We believe that ‘time’ is our most precious commodity. Time spent with the people we love, away from the stresses of everyday life at home, can make all the difference. We bring families together in wonderful locations and enable them to create memories which last a lifetime.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m raising money for the 4 Cancer Group as they offer  cancer patients and their families opportunities to have respite days out and short breaks together. The charity was set up by five friends (having all lost a family member to cancer) that recognised what they call ‘the power of the holiday’’!  Days out or short holidays give much needed breaks from hospitals,  managing difficult treatments/side effects and chance to rest. Patients with advanced cancer often are unable to work and the disease brings financial problems that can make holidays and days out harder to afford. These breaks give families quality time together, making memories and having a break from cancer and its treatment. 

I have recently decided to have a break from what I call ‘satan chemo’ and all its steroids and will go on a lighter regime for a couple of months 🤞which should  mean less fatigue, better mobility and will attempt a daily exercise! In the past I would have aimed for 10,000 steps a day but that just isn’t possible any more. 

Thank you so much for any support in this, appreciate we are in difficult times and many charities are asking for help. The 4 Cancer Group have been generous to us and many other families and I am keen to give something back.
