MOVE
MOVE charity was founded by international athlete and Loughborough University Graduate Gemma Hillier-Moses. Gemma was diagnosed with stage 3 Burkett’s lymphoma,a rare form of cancer, in 2012 at the age of 24. She was told to rest and was not given any advice or help about exercising with and beyond cancer. During Gemma’s experience with cancer she noticed that there was a lack of knowledge, education and support provided to both patients and health care professionals around the physiological and psychological benefits of physical activity both during treatment and in recovery. Gemma founded MOVE in 2016 to provide something she never got herself: Access to free, professional advice and support on how to literally Move Against Cancer.
