I’m a passionate believer in the value of exercise for people impacted by cancer and have been part of Move and 5k Your Way for over 7 years so I’ve decided to take on The Roaches Ramble which is a 30km hike in the Peak District.

I’m not convinced my body, the horrendous impact of my daily treatment for incurable prostate cancer or my new knee can actually manage that far but if you don’t even get to the start line you’ll never know if you can finish!

There's increasing evidence that moving more during and after cancer treatment can significantly improve physical & mental wellbeing. MOVE supports & inspires those impacted by cancer to live active, fulfilling lives. We deliver an 8 week online programme for 13-30 year olds diagnosed with cancer. Our 5k Your Way initiative, linked with parkrun, is a supportive community for anyone affected by cancer to go along to their local group & walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer on the last Saturday of the month. We also have an online Resource Hub.
