Running Into Cancer: Tony Collier

Get Your Oomph Back- Blogs on Cancer and Exercise: Carolyn Garritt

Tony Collier is a fantastic asset to 5k Your Way. He is our Wilmslow ambassador and our North West Regional Champion. He is brilliant at promoting the importance of exercise when living with and beyond cancer to everyone and has been instrumental in setting up many groups in and around Greater Manchester and the rest of the North West. 

His blogs are great to read and clearly come straight from the heart. Here's a snippet for you: 

 

"Why do I run then?

Firstly because it’s a massive part of my life and my running buddies mean the world to me but, secondly, running really helps dealing with all those horrible side effects as well as maintaining my mental health which took quite a hit with a terminal cancer diagnosis and, even now, the black dog of despair can and does descend. A run always helps though.


I suppose that there is another reason. Maybe I’m trying to outrun the cancer. I certainly think it will prolong my prognosis by staying as fit as possible."
