In 2016 / 2017 my sister and I were diagnosed with stage 2 Breast Cancer just six weeks apart. Having lost our father Pat to pancreatic cancer aged 40 and mum Frances to lung cancer in 2008 aged 67, Cathy and I were determined to survive.
Following full mastectomies, gruelling chemotherapy and living with the subsequent daily pain, exercise played a huge part in our recovery. We were blown away by the huge impact it had on our physical recovery and mental well-being.
