Project in the picture

In the last ten years, more and more studies based on longtime follow-up of millions of patients, have come to the same conclusion: lifestyle improvements to weight management, physical activity, nutrition and alcohol consumption will contribute to a healthier way of life that can help minimise the risk for breast cancer.  Many cancer patients only realise this when fighting the desease.  During their recovery the somethimes get help from the hospital, but after that they are on their own.  Getting fit again is often easier said than done… We want to help!

Moving is important, not only to prevent breast cancer, but also in the recovery proces of cancer patients.

Together with our partner Anita Care and the University Hospital Antwerp, we are able to support a beautiful project in Belgium to help cancer survivors get back on track. Preparing them to go on a canoe trip in Sweden, moving on the water with their own strength, away from all the luxury and daily stress we know, together as a group, helping each other, and finding their own capacities again.
 

The group will start preparing and training from March untill June.  They will work on their canoe technique, strengt, outdoor skills,… while getting to know eachother and becoming a group that supports eachother. The program will contribute to both their mental as physical wellbeing.  The candidates are being screened by the oncology and sports department of the University Hospital of Antwerp, to be sure they are fit enough to participate in the project.  After a good preparation the group will go on a canoe trekking in Sweden in July.

The projects aims to keep the participants moving after this experience.
