Cavan walking programme for cancer patients to take place

A walking programme for people recovering from cancer treatment is set to begin later this week in Cavan.

'Strides for life' is an initiative that is organised by the Irish Cancer society and Cuan Cavan. The 10 week programme begins this Thursday.

All levels of ability are catered for at the walk which is being hosted in the Farnham Estate Resort at the Golf Clubhouse in Cavan. You can register by phoning or texting 087 648 6076. One of the organisers behind the wonderful initiative, Nuala McAleer says it's as much a social gathering than a walk.
