Jules' Story💙 One in seven women in the UK will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Breast Cancer Now believe that they can change the future of breast cancer and make sure that, by 2050, everyone diagnosed with the disease lives – and is supported to live well. We're back showcasing some of the phenomenal women from @HerSpirituk to help spread awareness of the importance of being active and breast cancer. Meet Julie Pollock, Jules @jules.swims who has been part of Her Spirit since 2020 and was diagnosed with breast cancer 7 years ago. "We’ve all come on different journeys to reach that start line. For me it was pretty much 7 years to the day that I completed fairly intensive treatment for breast cancer. My life felt like it had been put on hold and all my fitness had gone. It was that diagnosis that made me a year later, do something that had been on my ‘to do’ list for years but I had never found the time or the courage to do and sign up for an open water swimming taster course in the Lake District. The minute I stepped into that water, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face ….. I had found my happy place. Open water swimming became the focus for my recovery as I rebuilt my strength, learnt front crawl and started entering short (!) swim events. Fast forward to 2020 and I discovered the Her Spirit at Spring Lakes Open water centre. I had found my open water tribe …..and access to great on line coaches to get me stronger and fitter as well as local swim coaching." Come and join Mel and Holly on the 21st August for our Lakes To London Challenge and raise money for @Breastcancernow -- #Zoggs #Zoggsuk #HerSpirit #BreastCancerNow #breastcancerawareness #swimming #swim
