Penny Brohn UK, whose headquarters are in Pill, often passed on Saturday morning long runs, support anyone affected by cancer. Cancer is an emotional rollercoaster with a rush of thoughts and feelings. Shock. Panic. Fear. Anger. Sorrow. Devastation. But there can also be hope. Hope that grows when people with cancer feel stronger, physically and emotionally.

They adopt a holistic approach to helping people live well with cancer - The Bristol Whole Life Approach - inggives anyone affected by cancer the practical, emotional and social support they need to improve their quality of life and to manage the fear and uncertainty that a cancer diagnosis may bring.

The Penny Brohn began in 1979 with a pioneering woman named Penny Brohn. Penny believed we need more than medicine to live well with cancer, particularly care for the mind, emotions, spirit, heart and soul. That idea was way ahead of its time. But most of us now recognise the importance of good health and wellbeing to treatment and resilience.

Today, Penny Brohn is the cancer health and wellbeing charity. A team of doctors, nutritionists, exercise specialists, counsellors and therapists provide high-quality personalised cancer care people can choose from, and champion its positive impact so more can benefit. Through psychological, nutritional, lifestyle and complementary therapies, the charity seeks to inspire people with cancer to embrace their health and wellbeing for a renewed sense of hope and control.

With your support Penny Brohn aims to provide more live changing support to people who need their help the most and to champion personalised cancer care. For everybody, everywhere.
