Workout For Womb Cancer!

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month - a time to raise awareness of all gynaecological cancers and help people understand more about their bodies and their health. The five gynaecological cancers are womb (also known as endometrial or uterine), ovarian, cervical, vaginal and vulval. Around 22,000 people are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer in the UK every year – and 45% of these diagnoses are womb cancer, making it the most common of the five.

Move your way this September

This year, for Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month, we’re encouraging you to know your body, care for your body and move your body.

Movement can play an important role in reducing some cancer risks and supporting wellbeing before, during and after cancer treatment. But movement looks different for everyone.

That’s why we’re inviting you to Work Out for Womb Cancer… your way.

How will you Workout for Womb Cancer?

Your body, your way

Move Daily

Join our 30 Days of Movement and find a way to move every day throughout September. Walk, stretch, dance, swim, garden, practise yoga… whatever movement works for you.

Make your movement count

Raise Funds

Choose your own movement challenge and ask your friends, family or colleagues to sponsor you. You could move every day, walk a certain distance, try something new — your challenge, your way.

Be part of the movement

Join In

Join our online yoga taster session and follow along on social media throughout September as we raise awareness of womb cancer and celebrate everyone taking part in Workout for Womb Cancer.

If you’re starting a new activity, please speak to your healthcare professional first to make sure it’s right for you.
