Our primary aims of the group are:
1) To raise the profile and awareness of cancer survivors. We're still here and getting on with life. (It may not be easy, but, bugger it, we're dealing with it)
2) To show those facing cancer, whether diagnosed or supporting someone who is dealing with cancer, that we’re getting on with life… and they can too
3) To make contact with other cancer survivors who might join with us in future events and finally
4) (Maybe) raise a bit of money, though this is not a core aim.

Fantastic guys, well done!!! I started running a couple of years ago to raise money for Milford Hospice when my mum was sick.... Ran a 10K 2 days after she died and was never able to get myself back into it properly again.... Now I'm itching to get back... I'm waiting on oncotype test results to see will i need chemo, but apart from that, i just don't have the energy to get up and start even some walking.... Can't wait to get back out there xxxx
