Cancer Survivor Launches Fitness Classes for Patients
1 Oct
Summary
- A cancer survivor established exercise classes for patients.
- The classes are supported by Weston Park Cancer Charity.
- Sessions are held at Zest Community Centre in Upperthorpe.
A cancer survivor from Sheffield has initiated an exercise program aimed at helping patients regain fitness and overcome recovery challenges. Joanne Graham, a fitness instructor, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024 and underwent significant surgery, including a mastectomy and ovary removal.
Graham found it difficult to locate appropriate and qualified fitness rehabilitation services. This personal challenge inspired her to create her own specialized classes for fellow cancer patients. The initiative is supported by the Weston Park Cancer Charity.
The classes are now running at the Zest Community Centre in Upperthorpe. Graham, drawing from her own journey, offers a unique understanding of the physical and emotional hurdles patients face post-treatment.
