Did you know that we have an evidence page on our website dedicated to scientific research about movement and cancer? We update it regularly and have just added some new studies. If you’re living with cancer and wondering why exercise might help, please check out our excellent page Why Should I Exercise? and share it with anyone else who might find it useful. https://www.moveagainstcancer.org/why-should-i-exercise/

We had a beautiful morning today at our April 5KYW event at Penallta parkrun!

Lovely to see our Kay who returned and is now becoming a regular to parkrun! 👏🏻

It's so good to see confidence and fitness grow - and that's what it's all about! 💪🏼

See you all next month - if you know anyone at any stage of a cancer journey who would like to join us, please spread the word!

This Saturday 25th April is Penallta parkrun 5KYW day! 😃

If you or anyone you know is, or has been on a cancer journey and want to get more active, just pop along at 8:45am and have a chat to some of our lovely ambassadors at the blue flag at the start line.
