Summary

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.
