Para 1.20 | The charity has successfully placed 30 cancer patients into a local gym or sports facility in their area to aid their mental and physical health whilst going through cancer treatment. The charity has had media coverage which has spread the information about the positive impact of physical activity on cancer patients which also raised donations.
