MOVE Against Cancer Charity have produced a series of videos for people living with advanced cancer and how movement can help. One of our own Shrewsbury 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer group ambassadors gave her time for one of the videos. Please share with anyone you may feel will benefit from them 💙

Our ambassador Kat Morgan celebrated her 50th parkrun today at Newtown parkrun, as always, running with her double buggy and adorable twins 💙
Since Kat discovered our Shrewsbury 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer group a couple of years ago she has been a regular at Shrewsbury parkrun with her husband and young family with just a short bit of time out for the arrival of the twins. Unfortunately Shrewsbury was cancelled this week but it was great for her to celebrate this milestone with some parkrun tourism at nearby Newtown 💙
Congratulations Kat, we are very proud of you 💙🎉🏃‍♀️

We are very lucky to have a great ambassador team for our group, a mix of patients, healthcare professionals and a cancer and exercise rehabilitation instructor. All offering something unique to share with and support our participants 💙
Our latest addition to the team is our lovely Kat who shares her reasons for wanting to be an ambassador below.
We are delighted to welcome her to the team and know she will be a great support to other people affected by cancer 💙

Eighteen years ago, when I was 18 years old, I was diagnosed with an ‘exceptionally rare’ cancer for my age. I was offered no aftercare support and didn’t have a recovery support group… Then, one day, I saw people running in blue 5KYW t-shirts at the Park Run in Shrewsbury, and now I have a wonderful support group. I’ve been running with this group for two years and having a community of people who understand treatment and recovery has been validating, informative and incredibly supportive. I am inspired and motivated by the strength and fortitude of every member and their kindness and empathy towards others is so clearly evident.
I have always wanted to make something positive come from my life changing experience and I have benefited from being part of my 5KYW group, so I hope to now be able to support others by being a 5KYW Ambassador.

Welcome to the team Kat 💙
