Join The Big Oxford Hike of Menopause and Cancer this month

Dig out your hiking boots and get outdoors this September, all for a good cause. Menopause and Cancer’s Big Oxford Hike is back!

Join the Move with Menopause and Cancer Challenge for a two-day marathon hike through the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, raising money and making friends along the way.

The hike will start at Aynho Wharf and finish in Oxford – everyone is welcome and you can join for both days or just one on 28th and 29th September.

The hike will raise money to support the thousands of UK women each year who experience cancer-induced menopause. Many women experience debilitating mental and physical symptoms and many say they have had no help in managing this.

One in two women get a cancer diagnosis at some point in their lives. For 90% of women over 40 and 40% of those under 40, cancer treatment will push them into menopause.

Menopause and Cancer helps to ensure no one goes through this alone and works to help improve cancer survivors’ quality of life and health outcomes.

The patient-support organisation helps to support the thousands of UK women each year who experience cancer-induced menopause. It was founded in 2022 by Dani Binnington after she was pushed into a surgically-induced menopause at 39 as a result of her cancer treatment. She quickly realised that there was little or no support available.

They partner with Macmillan, Maggie’s, Breast Cancer Now, Trekstock, FutureDreams and Peaches.
