Story

5k a day in December to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust. Walking, running, cycling or swimming 🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♀️

“Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through it. We’re the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need – so no young person faces cancer alone. Teenage Cancer Trust offers unique care and support, designed for and with young people. We fund specialised nurses, youth workers and hospital units in the NHS, so young people have dedicated staff and facilities to support them throughout treatment.”

This year, I have learned the immense importance of charities like this one. Not only do they provide quality care to young people who need it most, they also provide care for the families and friends who are closely effected by cancer diagnosis.

December is a dark and often difficult month for many. Taking on a 5K a day challenge for charity could provide a great distraction with many benefits - both for yourself and for the charity! The 5K can be completed whichever way suits you best. Walking, running, cycling or swimming. Each day can be different!
