💫 This week, we're celebrating Sylvia and the valuable contribution she makes to Active Against Cancer!

Many of you will recognise Sylvia from her work with Lindsey, organising Friends of Active Against Cancer and the regular fundraising events that help bring our community together.

🎅 Their next event is a Christmas Quiz and Bingo on Saturday 28th November – a great opportunity to get involved!

Sylvia also volunteers at one of our exercise classes, too. Whether it's offering a friendly welcome or lending a hand to our cancer specialist physical trainers, she's helping to make a difference to the experience of everyone who attends.

We're really grateful to Sylvia for her time and support.

🎥 What is it really like to take part in ?

Our cancer specialist physical trainers and physiotherapists see the benefits of the service every day. But sometimes, the best way to understand what our service offers is to hear directly from the people who have experienced it themselves.

🧍🏿‍♀️🧍🏻‍♂️ On our ‘What Our Patients Think’ page, you can watch video highlights featuring current and former patients talking openly about their experiences, from the physical benefits to the confidence, support and sense of connection they have found.

💪 When Carlos first came along to , he found the session really tough. But rather than letting that first experience put him off, he came back.

And then he came back again.

That’s the thing about starting something new: the first session doesn’t have to be easy for it to be worthwhile. With time, patience and regular attendance, you can begin to notice changes and discover what you’re capable of.

We asked Carlos what keeps him coming back week after week. His answer? “It’s marvellous what it’s done for me.”

🏃🏾‍♂️ When you're living with cancer, fatigue can make exercise seem like the last thing you want to do.

But Lindsay Conner, Macmillan Colorectal Team Lead at Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust, explains why physical activity can be such a valuable tool for people experiencing cancer-related fatigue.

Lindsay sees first-hand the impact fatigue can have on patients under her team's care, and recognises the benefits of services such as in helping people stay physically active.

Our specialist physical trainers understand the challenges faced by people living with and beyond cancer and can adapt exercises to individual abilities.
