Nonsuch Parkrun 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer

A community-based initiative to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, families, friends and The Benefits of Moving More.

A support group with a difference.
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 in 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 support group with a difference.
• 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.

*** IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOLLOWS***

This month we've moved our monthly meet-up from Saturday 26th September to Saturday 3rd October. The reason for this is that Nonsuch parkrun will not take place on 26th.

We hope you will visit another parkrun on 26th, and we really look forward to seeing you on 3rd October.

Lovely to see everyone on Saturday & it was great to welcome Paul & Charlotte from Bristol. We had a smattering of rain & cooler weather which was very welcome.

***watch this space for information about September's meet-up as Nonsuch parkrun is not going ahead due to other local events.***

It's 5KYW meet up time on Saturday!

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday morning to walk, run, volunteer, or cheer at Nonsuch parkrun 💙.

We’ll meet by the blue flag at 8:40am. Please leave plenty of time for parking and walking to the meeting point if you’re travelling by car.
Please note that the Mansion car park is reserved for non parkrunners.

It looks as though we're getting some rain over the next few days, so do bear that in mind when choosing your footwear. Do move at whatever pace feels right for you, whatever the course conditions.

Don’t be put off by the name ‘parkrun’ as there will be plenty of parkwalkers including some of our group who love to walk and talk. And you don’t need to walk the full 5km course, you can walk as much or as little as you feel up to.

After the parkrun we’ll meet at The Pantry café for a cuppa and cake 🍰 ☕️

Join us Nonsuch parkrun next Saturday! 💙

One week to go until we are Moving More Together across the country at our 5k Your Way meetups! Find your nearest group: https://www.moveagainstcancer.org/5k-your-way/ -search

Thanks to everyone who joined us yesterday for our 5th birthday celebrations and to all our friends at Nonsuch parkrun for your support. 🥳

Between us, we walked, ran, volunteered and cheered at the parkrun and then enjoyed a selection of cakes afterwards to mark the occasion. 🧁

Congratulations to Tracey on completing her 200th parkrun 👏

We’ll be back on Saturday 29th August for our next meet-up. We’d love to see you there! 💙
