MOVE AGAINST CANCER Charity

Thank you to everyone who joined us at 5k Your Way on Saturday! It was wonderful to see so many people coming together and supporting one another. Special shout-out to everyone who got into the Halloween spirit with their fancy dress costumes!

Today, 5k Your Way groups will be meeting up at locations across the UK to walk, jog, run, volunteer and connect with others affected by cancer. As it's Halloween, fancy dress is completely optional... but definitely encouraged! Have a fantastic 5k Your Way, and happy Halloween!

As part of his recovery from cancer treatment, Robin went to the VERY FIRST 5k Your Way in Nottingham. 8 years later he’s doing his 250th parkrun on 5k Your Way day tomorrow. Congratulations, Robin! Check out his story here: moveagainstcancer.org/articl… @parkrunUK

Our community fundraisers never cease to amaze us. From rowing across the Atlantic, to brave head shaves, to pounding out mile after mile in marathons — you’ve turned passion into impact. Every challenge taken on helps us support more people living with and beyond cancer.

We support and empower everyone impacted by cancer to be more active, because movement matters. Exercise is one of the most powerful tools for enhancing wellbeing and improving health outcomes. We’re one of the largest providers of movement-based cancer support in the country.
