Myeloma Australia will hold its annual My Greatest Walk event on Sunday, March 30, with more than 30 groups across Australia participating.
The Central Coast walk will begin at 8.30am from SEA Scout Hall in Masons Pde, Gosford.
My Greatest Walk is a grassroots campaign, driven by communities impacted by myeloma.
Individuals and families affected by myeloma, and their networks, are invited to come together to raise further funds for research, education and awareness to support the 22,000 Australians living with myeloma.
Myeloma is a specific form of cancer of the plasma cells (one of the blood cells) and is an incurable disease.
On the Coast there is a high population living with myeloma.
Exercise is an important element of cancer treatment as it: reduces the severity of side effects of cancer treatments; helps deal with complications in surgery and time spent in hospital; helps with recovery from treatment by increasing energy levels; aids strengthening bones; reduces treatment-related muscle loss; and improves mobility and balance.
On March 30, you can walk as little or as much as you like.
Last year more than 90 walkers benefited greatly from the exercise and helped gain funds for important research.
