Yoga and weightlifting helped Bei
Bei worried about maintaining her fitness through chemo. She took part in a Macmillan strength and conditioning class and managed to keep up yoga, aerobics, and weightlifting as well.
Peter kept dancing
Five weeks after surgery, with information and support from Macmillan, Peter was back dancing. The music and thinking about his steps and posture helped keep his mind off cancer.
Cycling gave Andy a physical challenge to overcome
The mental battle, for Andy, was so much harder, post cancer. His call to the Macmillan's Support Line gave him the support he needed. Getting back on his bike gave him some achievable goals and helped him to get fitter.
Time with friends and playing basketball made a difference
