Dr @lucygossage.bsky.social was the first keynote at our 2025 Retreat.
Oncologist, professional Ironman champion, and founder of 5K Your Way, Dr Gossage also did her PhD at @cruk-ci.bsky.social.
Recalling this time, she said "completing a PhD and training for an Ironman are remarkably similar!"
Aww thanks Lisa. X

The first phase 3 RCT proving exercise reduces risk of cancer recurrence & is better than many drugs.This should be a gamechanger & trigger funding to support people to be active in a way that works for them. It def supports what we do at Move Against Cancer!
