Introducing a new cancer support organisation - Cancer Take a Hike! - a supportive hiking community created by and for people affected by cancer to provide a safe, welcoming space where people can move at their own pace, share gentle companionship and feel a sense of accomplishment, while reconnecting with nature and movement.
As cancer is not a path we walk alone, friends and loved ones are welcome to join in these hikes too!
See the accompanying infographic for details of upcoming hikes. For more information email [email protected] or follow Cancer Take A HIke on Instagram at www.instagram.com/cancertakeahike
