5K YOUR WAY, MOVE AGAINST CANCER INITIATIVE
A Support Group with a Difference
5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer is a community-based initiative, provided by Move Charity.
Our aim is to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, their families and friends, and those working in cancer services to join their local 5k Your Way group at designated parkrun events on the last Saturday of every month.
It's 5k YOUR Way: walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer and you don't have to do the whole 5k- do as much or as little as you want.
*5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer is a non medical initiative and our ambassadors cannot take responsibility for providing specialist advice or care. Please see our T&C's for full details.
5k Your Way Ambassadors
Each of our 5k Your Way, Move Against Cancer meet ups will have one of our wonderful ambassadors there to meet and greet you at a designated meeting spot. Our ambassadors are your 'go to' for each event and will run/walk with some of you if they can. After the walk/run, the ambassadors will gather you together for socialising over a much needed hot drink and cake.
Our 5k Your Way Initiative Co-Founders
This initiative was created by Lucy Gossage, oncologist at Nottingham City Hospital, a 12 times Ironman Champion, and Gemma Hillier-Moses, international runner and founder of Move Charity who was diagnosed with cancer herself at the age of 24. Lucy and Gemma are both hugely passionate about supporting people living with and beyond cancer through the power of movement, as well as supporting the wider cancer community including friends, family members, and health care professionals.
