A spooky sunshiny 5k Your Way today 🩵 and also Breast Cancer Awareness month 🩷. We had lovely ladies joining us from Fi's Fit Mix, Get Active Sarah, Cancer Rehab group Jaywick and Maggie's Cancer Rehab. We collected donated bras and Tesco Brook Park kindly donated two big bowls of treats and snacks. Please come along and join us next month for a walk/jog/run or coffee after at the Toby Carvery.

🎃💕 BOO-BIES ON THE MOVE! 💕🎃

Decorate a bra, wear something pink, dust off your Halloween outfit and come and join us!

We’re bringing a little Halloween fun to Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Move Against Cancer and 5K Your Way.

📅 Saturday 31st October
⏰ Meet at 8.45am
📍 By our blue sign near the Greensward Café & Adventure Golf, Clacton seafront

👻 Walk, jog or run — or simply come along to support and cheer!

🎀 Decorate a bra Halloween-style, wear pink or come in fancy dress.

👙 Bring your unwanted bras — we’ll be collecting for Smalls for All and breast cancer charities.

🍰 Buy a cake! Support our fundraising and enjoy a little treat.

☕ Come and have a chat.

I’ll also be there with my Talk to Me About Cancer Support banner, alongside Move Against Cancer.

Whether you’re living with cancer, recovering from treatment, supporting someone you love or simply wondering what help is available locally, come and talk to us.

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start, who to ask or what support actually exists.

And that’s something I’m passionate about — helping people join those dots.

💕 You don’t have to do the 5K to be part of the morning.

Come for the movement, come for the cake, come for the conversation — or just come and say hello.

A little Halloween silliness, a serious message, and a community coming together.

🎃💕 Together we can make a difference!

🎃🎀 BOO-BIES ON THE MOVE! 🎀🎃

We’re doing something a little bit different for our October 5K Your Way!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so on Saturday 31st October we’re bringing together movement, community, a bit of Halloween silliness — and hopefully a LOT of decorated bras! 😂🎃🎀

📅 Saturday 31st October
⏰ Meet at 8.45am
📍 Our blue 5K Your Way sign near the Greensward Café & Adventure Golf, Clacton seafront

👻 HOW TO JOIN IN

Decorate a bra and wear it over your clothes, decorate a T-shirt Halloween boob-style, come in Halloween fancy dress, wear something pink… or simply turn up as you are.

Men, women, friends, families and supporters — everyone is welcome.

And remember, 5K Your Way really does mean YOUR way.
🚶 Walk
🏃 Jog or run
🙌 Volunteer
👏 Cheer
☕ Or simply come along and be part of the community.

👙 BRING YOUR UNWANTED BRAS

We’ll also be collecting bras on the morning.

💕 New or gently worn bras will be donated to Smalls for All, which works with charitable organisations supporting women and girls in the UK and Africa.

🎀 Other unwanted bras that are still wearable can go to Against Breast Cancer’s bra-recycling scheme, helping to raise money for breast-cancer research.

You don’t need to decide which collection yours belongs in — just bring them along and we’ll sort them afterwards.

🍰 AND THERE WILL BE CAKE!

We’ll have a cake stall for donations, helping us raise funds while supporting the work of 5K Your Way / Move Against Cancer and marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

This morning is about more than fundraising. It’s about breast cancer awareness, getting people moving, having conversations and bringing our community together.

So dig out those bras, pumpkins and Halloween decorations and get creative. 🎃👙😂

Different paces. Different people. One community.

Please share this post, tag your friends and local groups, and come and join us.

🎀 Let’s get those Boo-bies on the Move! 🎃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💕

Sometimes the best medicine doesn't come in a bottle...

Sometimes it wears walking shoes. 👟💙

We've become very good at talking about steps, calories and fitness watches.

But I wonder if we've forgotten the real magic of walking.
✨ The conversation you didn't know you needed.
✨ The confidence that quietly returns.
✨ The smile from a stranger.
✨ The cup of tea afterwards.
✨ The moment you realise your body can do a little more than you thought.

The science tells us walking is wonderful for our heart, muscles and brain.
But I think the best part happens while we're walking.

As a therapist, I've watched people rebuild confidence after cancer, surgery, illness and life's unexpected challenges, one gentle walk at a time.

That's why I love our little Sea of Blue at 5K Your Way – Move Against Cancer. It's never really been about walking faster or further. It's about walking together.

If you've ever wondered whether you should come along...
This is your invitation. 💙

I've written a blog about why I think walking is one of the kindest things we can do for ourselves—and why sometimes the smallest step can change much more than our fitness.
📖 Read it here:

I'd love to know...
Where's your favourite place to walk, and who would you choose to walk beside? 💙
