Stomp is back!
Last year over 400 walkers took part in Stomp, a six-mile sponsored walk in aid of Penny Brohn UK. Five Stompers tell their story.
Victoria’s story
Victoria's husband, Stephen, became seriously unwell following a rare side effect of chemotherapy. Support from Penny Brohn UK at GenesisCare helped Victoria improve her own wellbeing after such a traumatic experience.
Susan’s story
Susan took part in MoonWalk in memory of her mum who had died of breast cancer. When Susan was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 she attended a regional Living Well course.
Abi’s story
Abi called the Penny Brohn UK helpline when she was struggling with side effects from chemotherapy. Penny Brohn UK gives Abi another source of support and someone to turn to.
Fiona’s story
Fiona's son, Tom, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia when he was travelling. Tom's diagnosis and treatment put a huge strain on the family but Penny Brohn UK helped keep them together and gave them the resources to cope.
Veronica’s story
Veronica was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram. A year after treatment, Veronica found that she was barely coping. Veronica says she credits Penny Brohn UK with saving her sanity and teaching her how to look after herself so she could cope.
