I noticed that I wasn’t the only one in my local breast cancer community lacking discipline to get my body moving. Joining a gym was lonely and just not my thing. While I was often invited to charity-driven walks and events, few were rigorous enough to require regular training and when they did, I found them too expensive. This is how WALK AWAY began. Breast cancer survivors shouldn’t need a lot of money to be physically active. We really just need each other.

Walk Away from Breast Cancer is a regional experiment that launched in the fall of 2024 that has the aim of unifying current and former breast cancer patients from every possible background who want to begin a regular habit of endurance walking by completing walking relay races round the world. Our unifying goal is preventing our own breast cancer recurrence while getting to know other as breast cancer survivors. We believe that “ENDURANCE is the best INSURANCE against RECURRENCE.”
