Tony Lormor is an ex professional footballer who in his youth signed for Newcastle United before going on to play for the likes of Lincoln City, Chesterfield and Mansfield Town. Tony has also had his own experience of cancer having had Lymphoma numerous times since his initial diagnosis in 2011, however despite all of the harsh treatment that he’s been faced with, Tony has remained extremely positive and has gone on to do extraordinary things despite living with cancer. In this episode, Tony chats to Sophie, who is part of the team here at MOVE Charity and has also had Leukaemia 3 times herself, all about how his own experiences have made him want to do things that help others who are living with and beyond cancer, as it gives him that ‘warm, fuzzy feeling inside’ when he knows he has helped someone else or given them support when they need it.
Welcome to the Move Against Cancer Podcast.
This podcast aspires to support and inspire people to move, exercise and live an active and fulfilling life despite a cancer diagnosis. We share the stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
We know that many people are scared to stay active during cancer treatment. We know that for some, cancer can take away the hope that comes from dreaming of a future. And we know many people diagnosed with cancer feel isolated and lonely.
We hope that by sharing the stories of others finding their own way through cancer, the Move Against Cancer podcast will provide hope, support and a sense of empowerment to anyone living with or beyond cancer.
Unfortunately, cancer will affect everyone either personally or through our loved ones and so whatever position you are in we hope you will learn and be inspired by our podcast. Thank you so much for listening.
