The science
Movement is medicine, and the evidence is clear.
If every participant raises just £100 this October, we could fund life changing breast cancer prevention reearch.
Research shows that being regularly active can reduce your risk of breast cancer. You don't need to run a marathon. Small steps count and this October, we're celebrating every one of them.
Hear from our fundraisers
Sinead committed to walking 300 km to raise money for us after her mum’s breast cancer history"Walking helps me reflect and manage stress," she explains. "I throw my headphones on and it's just headspace. Sometimes when I'm walking, I leave people long voice notes, listen to a podcast, or walk quietly. After all, it was while walking in the west of Ireland on a break with my mum that I finally made the decision. I like Breast Cancer UK's ethos of movement and empowerment to reduce the risk and walking has been my saviour, so I think it's a good focus."
Josh who ran the Lisbon marathon in October for his Mum“Through all that chemo and radiotherapy, Mum never stopped being the best Mum, wife and daughter. She was strong and remained the kind, bubbly and loving person she always is. So, I wanted to do something to give back to the people who work so hard for Breast Cancer UK and to help stop this horrible disease. So many wonderful people, including family and friends, gave me their support, And that's what keeps you going when it gets really quite hard. It's all that money and support people have put forward – there's a kind of responsibility there."
