Hello everyone! Many of you may know that October is Breast Cancer awareness month!

Last year we held an event raising awareness and money for this amazing cause, we were so overwhelmed by everyone’s support that we had even bigger and better ideas for this year!  However COVID had a different plan but that isn’t going to stop us!!  Last year we raised a fantastic £1000 for Breast Cancer UK and this year we would like to beat this target!

What we are going to do:

We have decided to do PINK Walktober! The average person walks 3000-4000 steps a day and it is encouraged that everyone in the UK aims to complete 10,000 steps a day. Whether you meet this target or not we invite you to walk 26 miles (a marathon) over this month. 

Whether it’s with the dog, along to music or a socially distanced walk with a friend we want everyone to get involved to raise awareness about Breast Cancer whilst raising money to help people living with and beyond cancer access rehabilitation during and after their treatment. 

Who is receiving the donated money?

This year we have decided to raise and donate money to The PINC & STEEL Cancer Rehabilitation Foundation UK & Ireland who is a registered charity with a mission to make rehabilitation after a cancer diagnosis accessible to all. 

This year, Faye (Body Clinic Pilates instructor and Physiotherapist) achieved her certification in becoming a PINC Physiotherapist, who is dedicated to rehabbing all cancer patients. Our goal is to actively support thousands of people across the UK and Ireland to move over cancer each year.

What do I need to do?

Whether it’s a mile or two a day, a walking lunch brake, walk to work  or get up from your desk and do a lap of the office, we want to encourage people to try and clock up 26 miles as and when you can! Get sponsored by your friends and family and sign post people to this Just Giving page. 

If you have access to social media such Facebook / Instagram or twitter, share your pictures, stories and posts and please tag: @thebodyclinicliv @pinc&steel and hashtag #PINKWALKTOBER  #TBCwalktoberchallenge #breastcancerawareness 

 We need your help, so please get involved and Walk through October with us!! We will not only raise awareness about Breast Cancer and self examination but raise awareness and funds for the PINC & Steel Cancer Rehabilitation foundation.

Let’s Walk and Wear it Pink for an incredible cause!
