Beccy goes that extra kilometer for The Acorn Cancer Support Group!
Beccy Adams a local Rehabilitation Therapist who has delivered seated exercise sessions to the St Ives group of Acorn for the last 10 years has again competed in the Hyrox Challenge in London, beating her previous time by 20 mins and raising a further £1000 for the group!
Hyrox founded in Germany in 2017 combines running and workouts. It alternates between eight 1Km runs with eight different workouts in between, such as the Sled Push. This entails pushing a sled with heavy weights across a rough carpet with a deliberately obstructive surface.
Beccy admits that it is a gruelling experience, but she has trained hard in the preparation for it, and was driven on the day by not wanting to let down all the generous people who had sponsored her. She is passionate about supporting Acorn, and delivers chair based exercises designed for cancer patients, on a monthly basis to the St Ives group. She has a wicked sense of humour and makes these sessions not only physically beneficial, but extremely amusing as well.
Acorn are extremely lucky to have the benefit of her professional services and the Trustees wish to congratulate her on her recent achievement, and thank her for the wonderful funds raised for the group, in addition to the care and help she offers to the group on a regular basis.
Acorn continue to offer a welcome to anyone who has been newly affected by Cancer. They aim to relieve the uncertainty, worry and loneliness this brings whether you are a patient or carer, by the benefit of mutual support and social interaction with those who understand.
