💙🎉 WOW! WE'RE OFFICIALLY FULL! 🙌

Earlier today, we shared that we had just THREE treadmill spaces left for our 12-Hour Indoor Triathlon…

And we're absolutely delighted to announce that EVERY SINGLE SLOT IS NOW BOOKED! 🎉💙

What an incredible response! A huge thank you to everyone who's signed up, shared our posts and helped us fill those final spaces.

On Tuesday 27 October, our brilliant participants will be taking on 30-minute slots throughout the day, helping us keep a swimming lane, exercise bike and treadmill moving continuously for 12 WHOLE HOURS! 🏊🚲🏃

We're so excited to see everyone come together for year three, and we genuinely can't wait for the big day! 💙

But there's still another way to be part of it!

While our activity timetable is now full, we're continuing to fundraise towards our £4,000 target, helping HCCN support adults 18+ living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis in Huntingdonshire.

You don't need to swim, cycle or run to make a difference. Every donation, big or small, helps us continue providing support, activities and opportunities to connect for local people. 💙

💙✨ One of our favourite things about the Christmas Ball isn't something you'll find on the programme.

It's seeing so many different parts of HCCN come together in one room.

Throughout the year, we meet people in all sorts of ways. At our drop-ins and activities, through fundraising events, volunteering, local businesses and organisations, and through the many people who simply choose to support what we do.

The Christmas Ball is a chance to bring everyone together. 💙

It's lovely to see familiar faces from our groups enjoying an evening out, fundraisers catching up with people they've met along the way, volunteers swapping their usual HCCN roles for their dancing shoes, and supporters from across Huntingdonshire sharing the same room.

Some people arrive knowing lots of faces. Others might only know the people at their own table. But for one evening, everyone's there together.

And yes, the Ball raises important funds to help HCCN continue supporting adults 18+ living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis in Huntingdonshire.

But it's also about connection, celebration and enjoying being together.

That's a big part of why this evening means so much to us. 💙✨

💙🚲 Cyclists, this one’s for you!

Our 12-Hour Indoor Triathlon timetable is filling up nicely, but there’s a stretch of the afternoon where our exercise bike is looking rather lonely... and we need your help! 🙌

We’re particularly looking for people who could give us just 30 minutes between 1:30pm and 4pm on Tuesday 27 October.

And you certainly don’t need to be a seasoned cyclist.

There’s no distance to reach, no speed to maintain and no competition. Just hop on, get those pedals moving and cycle at whatever pace feels right for you. 💙

Your 30 minutes will help us with our challenge to keep a swimming lane, exercise bike and treadmill moving continuously for 12 hours, from 8am to 8pm.

📅 Tuesday 27 October
⏰ 8am to 8pm
📍 Delta Hotels by Marriott Huntingdon

So, if you could spare half an hour between 1:30pm and 4pm, we’d really love to get your name into one of those empty slots!

👉 Choose cycling when you sign up, tell us when you’re available and we’ll find you a slot:
https://hccnthecharity.org/triathlon-signup

By taking part, you’ll be helping HCCN continue supporting adults 18+ living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis in Huntingdonshire. 💙

Could you give us 30 minutes? Come and help us keep those pedals turning! 🚲🙌

💙 This is why we're doing it.

Over the past few weeks we've talked a lot about swimming, cycling, walking, 30-minute slots and keeping three activities moving for 12 hours.

But behind our 12-Hour Indoor Triathlon is a much bigger reason.
Earlier this year, one of the people attending HCCN's Sawtry activities told us about the difference he'd experienced since joining our exercise classes.

After treatment had left him experiencing significant mobility difficulties, he came along following a recommendation from a community nurse.

At one point, he told us he could manage around 40 steps before needing to find somewhere to sit.

Just a couple of months after joining the classes, he completed 4,000 steps during a trip into town.

In his own words:
“Every week I can see an improvement in my mobility... This has been a truly transformational experience.” 💙

Stories like this are the reason we're aiming to raise £4,000 through this year's 12-Hour Indoor Triathlon.

HCCN supports adults 18+ living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis in Huntingdonshire, providing opportunities for support, connection and activities across our local communities.

On 27 October, our participants will swim, cycle, walk and run for 12 hours to help us continue that work.

Could you help us towards our £4,000 target?

💙 A place to talk, listen, connect and simply be yourself 💙

Our Women’s and Men’s Support Groups offer a warm, relaxed space to spend time with others who understand some of the ups and downs that can come with living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis.

There’s no expectation to share more than you want to. Some weeks you might feel like talking, other weeks you might prefer to listen, have a cuppa and enjoy being around people who just get it. 💙

New members are always welcome. Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed, are further along in your journey, or simply feel that connecting with others could help, you’re very welcome to come and find out what the groups are all about.

👩 Women’s Support Group
A little change for October, the group will meet on the 3rd and 4th Wednesdays of the month, so that’s 21st and 28th October.

👨 Men’s Support Group
Our Men’s Support Group continues to meet every Wednesday, offering the same opportunity for conversation, connection and mutual support.

Both groups are for adults 18+ living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis in Huntingdonshire.

📩 Thinking about coming along for the first time? Email [email protected] and we’ll be happy to tell you more.

💙 New to HCCN? You can find out more about our groups, activities and the support available through HCCN here:

Sometimes it helps simply to be around people who understand. Come for a chat, come to listen, or just come for the company. 💙

💙 One last dance at Lady Olivia this Friday! 💃

This Friday marks our final Line Dancing session at the Lady Olivia Centre, and we’d love to see you there for one last session. 💙

If Line Dancing has been part of your Fridays with us, come along and enjoy the final class together. And if you’ve never joined in before but fancy giving it a go, you’ll be very welcome too.

The rest of our Friday Drop-In continues as usual, with plenty of opportunities throughout the day to move, unwind, catch up with familiar faces or simply enjoy a cuppa and a chat.

Our activities are friendly and relaxed, with no pressure to keep up or do everything. Come for as much or as little of the day as feels right for you.

After this Friday, Line Dancing will no longer be running at Lady Olivia. We’re sorry to see the class come to an end and would like to thank everyone who has joined us and helped make the sessions so enjoyable. 💙

Our Friday Drop-In is open to adults 18+ living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis in Huntingdonshire. There’s no need to book, just come along.

💙🏃 Walkers, joggers and runners, this one’s for you!

Our 12-Hour Indoor Triathlon timetable is filling up, but we’ve got a rather big gap on the treadmill that we’d love your help with! 🙌

In particular, we’re looking for people who could give us just 30 minutes between 12:30pm and 4:30pm on Tuesday 27 October.

And when we say treadmill, you absolutely do not have to run!
🚶 Walk it
🏃 Jog it
👟 Run it

There’s no distance you need to reach and no pace you need to keep. Your job is simply to keep that treadmill moving for your 30-minute slot, at whatever pace works for you. 💙

Our challenge is to keep a swimming lane, exercise bike and treadmill moving continuously for 12 hours, from 8am to 8pm, and every person who signs up helps us get a little closer to completing it.

📅 Tuesday 27 October
⏰ 8am to 8pm
📍 Delta Hotels by Marriott Huntingdon

So, if you’re free for 30 minutes between 12:30pm and 4:30pm, we’d really love to hear from you!

👉 Choose treadmill when you sign up, tell us when you’re available and we’ll find you a slot:https://hccnthecharity.org/triathlon-signup

💙 A gentler way to get moving this Thursday 💙

We’re back at our St Neots Thursday Drop-In tomorrow, and this week we’ll be slowing things down with two welcoming Tai Chi sessions alongside our usual relaxed Drop-In.

Tai Chi combines gentle, controlled movements with time to focus and unwind. It can be a lovely way to work on balance, mobility and confidence, without feeling like you need to push yourself or keep up with anyone else. 💙

We’ll begin with Seated Tai Chi from 3pm, offering an accessible way to enjoy the movements from a chair. Then at 4pm, we’ll move into our Tai Chi session, giving you another opportunity to move gently and take some time for yourself.

🪑 Seated Tai Chi - 3:00pm to 4:00pm
🌿 Tai Chi - 4:00pm to 5:00pm
☕ Drop-In - 2:30pm to 5:30pm

And as always, you don’t have to join an activity to come along. Our Drop-In is just as much about getting out of the house, seeing some friendly faces and having a cuppa and a chat. Stay for an activity, stay for the afternoon, or simply pop in and say hello.

📍 Eatons Community Centre, St Neots, PE19 8ES

Our St Neots Drop-In is for adults 18+ living with or beyond a cancer diagnosis in Huntingdonshire. There’s no need to book, just come along whenever suits you.

💙 New to HCCN? Find out more about our activities, Drop-Ins and the support available here:

A little gentle movement, a little time to unwind and plenty of friendly company. We’d love to welcome you tomorrow. 💙
