“I’m looking forward to a healthy, happy family Christmas and many more.”

When Neil was diagnosed with bowel cancer, he was referred to a pioneering fitness and wellbeing service to help him prepare for, and recover from, his cancer treatment.

He received personalised fitness, nutrition, and wellbeing support from cancer specialists. In the space of eight weeks Neil was able to lose two stone and significantly improve his fitness so he was able to receive surgery.

Now, 18 months on, Neil has finished his cancer treatment and is looking forward to spending Christmas with his grandchildren.
