Looking for some motivation to get up and active as we slide out of winter into the warmer months? Sign up for the #MoveAgainstCancer Step Challenge this September!
The annual community initiative run by our good friend and local doctor, Dr. Ash Bowden (aka Dr Do More) is the Central Coast’s BIGGEST step challenge to help fight cancer and is something that every Central Coast family should get involved in. Here’s why:
+ Unlike some charity fitness challenges, this one is totally achievable and something you can do as part of your daily routine while out and about with your kids.
+ Your body will thank you for it. Why? Because moving has so many health benefits including reducing the risk of cancer, reducing the risk of cardiorespiratory disease, and improving cognition.
+ At a time when so many are experiencing stress and anxiety, getting out and active is a great way to support your mental health.
+ You’ll not only reap the positive health benefits from taking part, but you’ll also be supporting local cancer patients right here on the Central Coast.
+ It’s just $10 to participate!
