Story

💙WORLD CANCER DAY - COMMUNITY WORKOUT💙

Wednesday, 4th February

On World Cancer Day, we’re bringing our community together for a special workout to raise money for our local cancer support charity, My Cancer My Choices.

This event is open to everyone - members, friends, family, and the wider community.

🏋️‍♂️ THE WORKOUT

A 45-minute social workout, inspired by Battle Cancer-style events and designed to be inclusive, supportive, and scalable.

You can take part as a pair or solo.

🎯 THE FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE

This workout is also a fundraising challenge:

Pairs: Aim to reach 2,500 total reps, calories, and metres combined

Solo athletes: Aim for 1,250 total reps, calories, and metres

(1 rep / 1 calorie / 1 metre = 1 point)

This is a challenge, not a requirement — the goal is steady effort, teamwork, and supporting a great cause.

🔁 Workout Format

6 workout stations

5 minutes at each station

2 minute rest between stations

One person working at a time (pairs), swap whenever you like

🧩 The Stations

SkiErg

Box Step-Overs

Rower

Deadlifts

Air Bike

Sit-Ups (synced if paired)

You’ll move through all stations once. The goal is steady effort, teamwork, and keeping moving - not racing.

All movements and loads can be scaled to suit any ability, including beginners and those returning to training.

One in two people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime. Cancer affects the body, mind and spirit and MCMC passionately believes everyone with cancer should have access, from diagnosis, to complementary therapies. MCMC's volunteer, specialist therapists offer free, one-to-one treatments such as acupuncture and massage, alongside group courses in mindfulness and yoga. These aim to relieve the side effects of cancer treatment and can make the cancer journey easier by encouraging relaxation and reducing stress.
