5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer is a a community-based initiative to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, families, friends and those working i

n cancer services to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at a local 5k Your Way parkrun event on the last Saturday of every month. What we are:

• A run and walking club with a difference.

• A social opportunity with a difference.

• A coffee morning with a difference.

• Founded by Lucy Gossage, Gemma Hillier-Moses and MOVE Charity. Exercise has ENORMOUS benefits for people living with and beyond cancer:

· It reduces cancer related fatigue.

· Helps to preserve cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness.

· May reduce treatment side effects.

· Improves psychological well-being.

· May reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and prolong survival.

· But most importantly it's social and fun. Aims of 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer:

· To provide a monthly support network for those living with and beyond cancer by encouraging participation at a local parkrun the last Saturday of every month.

· To build friendships.

· To encourage participation in physical activity.

· To improve confidence and self-esteem.

· To promote skill development, especially through our ambassador roles and volunteering.

· To encourage participation in local parkrun's, and other physical activity opportunities, independently of 5k Your Way.

· To reduce social isolation and connect with already existing community groups.

· To encourage health-care professionals to signpost patients and carers to parkrun as a way of improving health and well-being.

· To encourage increased participation in physical activity by health care professionals involved in cancer care.
