Episode 205 - Keep Going: Finding Strength After Cancer

If you’re feeling low on motivation to start exercising or to keep up the good work, this episode is for you.In this episode, I’m joined by Christine. Christine is here to remind you that even when life changes overnight, strength, movement and hope can still be found.Christine had to relearn how to walk after cancer and then to relearn how to cycle. Just one month after lung surgery, she took part in Tour de 4, founded by Chris Hoy. She cycled 38 miles and raised over £10,000 for Cancer Research UK, as part of an event that raised more than £3 million for cancer charities. Amazing!In this conversation, we talk about finding motivation after life-altering treatment, using movement as medicine, and focusing on the here and now.If you’re inspired, join us for our BOOST30 challenge in March or for a fundraising event later in the year.JOIN BOOST30: https://fundraiseformenopauseandcancer.raiselysite.com/Boost30GET INVOLVED: https://fundraiseformenopauseandcancer.raiselysite.com/To sponsor Christine's next event, go here: https://gofund.me/16fe7fc67Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro06:06 Post-Cancer Recovery Challenges07:51 "Facing Cancer with Resilience"12:17 Thriving as Amputee and Survivor19:01 "Monumental Charity Event Experience"23:21 Adapting to Running with Prosthetics27:23 "Embracing Change, Winging It"28:30 Couch to 5K and Community33:13 Boost30 Challenge: Empower & SupportConnect with us:For more information and resources, visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerFind us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingMenopauseAfterCancer Join my NEW blog ‘Still Becoming’ on Substack: https://substack.com/@danibinnington?...Buy my book ‘Navigating Menopause After Cancer’: https://amzn.eu/d/07dUoYBbJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub Mentioned in this episode:Substack: https://danibinnington.substack.com/
