This March, we are taking on HYROX Glasgow to support people living with cancer for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Clare's Story

I benefited from Macmillan's support during my cancer diagnosis, and I know first hand what a difference this charity makes to people’s lives. Their specialist nurses and financial advice are just a small part of the help I received and it was invaluable. Participating in HYROX represents a significant milestone in my health journey; after going through two major operations, I never imagined I would be able to take on something like this. Stay strong and hopeful.

Fitness plays a crucial role in people’s physical and mental well-being and for some cancer patients who are recovering, fitness, no matter the level, can be a lifeline. To my fellow PMP survivors, you’ll be amazed what you can do post surgery, be it a walk or a fitness challenge, dream big!

Jeanette will tell you that I made her do it 🤣 but I couldn't think of a better person to do HYROX with. Thank you!

Jeanette's Story

All of us know someone affected by cancer; and the support that Macmillan provides to individuals and families following their diagnosis is invaluable. It is such a privilege to compete alongside Clare at HYROX Glasgow, sharing this massive milestone with her, and (hopefully) raising some money for a very worthy cause while we’re at it.

HYROX is the fitness race that combines both running and functional fitness. I’ll be taking on a course of a 1km run followed by 1 functional workout station, repeated eight times.

I have pledged to raise £400, which could run the Macmillan Support Line for nearly an hour. I’d be so grateful for any donations to help me reach my goal.

📱 £20 could provide one session of emotional support to a person living with cancer with a Macmillan Buddy.

💚 £39 could pay for a Macmillan Nurse for 1 hour.

📖 £60 could pay for 100 copies of our Help with the cost of cancer booklet.

There are currently over 3.5 million people living with cancer in the UK today. It's Macmillan's goal to help more people with cancer get the best care the UK has to offer, but they can’t do this without donations from people like you.

Thank you!
