Ongoing weekly support to prepare for Race for Life in Doncaster
Funded by Well Doncaster as part of their commitment to help people in Doncaster live healthier lives.
The project helps cancer prevention by offering advice on how to carry out personal screening and what symptoms to look for, evidence shows that early detection can make the cancer easier to treat and prevent it reaching an advanced stage. We hope the knowledge shared with attendees will also help them to support and encourage family members to do the same.
Well Doncaster are encouraging participants to work towards the Race for Life, offering them a target to work towards and an opportunity to take part in an event to raise awareness of cancer prevention.
