Your heart is a muscle. It pumps blood around your body to keep everything working. It beats more than 100,000 times every day. Keep your heart healthy by being active for 60 minutes every day, including skipping! 😘 This month we're launching our '112 Skips a Day' initiative, ...inspired by how over 11,200 people a year die from breast cancer in the UK. Turn it into action by skipping 112 times a day every day throughout October (that’s 3,472 skips in total!). Raise £10 for a free skipping rope, just send us a DM. #CardiB #GymTrainer #PT
Are more young people getting cancer?

This month is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth! We never said our challenges would be easy. The countdown is on to consider our next one! If you raise £150, a pink beanie is yours... You'll also be supporting breast cancer research. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and the ...second-most common cancer globally. Many women diagnosed with breast cancer are living with overweight or obesity, yet we don’t fully understand how this affects treatment outcomes or side effects. Our study at the @University of Southampton will find out more. #Diet #Exercise #Chemotherapy
Do you eat tofu, edamame beans or soy milk? 🫛

Thank you to everyone who has signed up for our skipping fundraising challenge! ➰
Our big tip is to use your wrists. Spin the rope with your wrists and forearms rather than making big circles with your entire arms. 🙌
We've created a tracker chart and celebration pictures... for when you reach peaks to encourage you to keep going! Download here: https://World-Cancer-Research-Fund.sync.giving/112-skips-a-day/faqs-resources#section-3
🤸 WE ARE CHEERING YOU ON. 🤸
Who’s feeling bouncy? Many of our supporters across the UK are taking part in a skipping challenge this #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth to help fund vital breast cancer research.
Breast cancer occurs when cells in the breasts become damaged and ...grow abnormally, forming a lump or thickening, known as a tumour. Our fundraisers are helping us support research at @Uni_Southampton on how body composition and nutrition affect women with breast cancer.
We'll be sharing many who are skipping on our feed and in our upcoming stories, so please do leave a like to cheer them on. 🎉
