Tim spent much of his career as a journalist writing and editing the stories of others' sporting and personal achievements. He also spent many years working in the third sector, helping charities communicate their message and develop fundraising strategies. He is a big supporter of many brilliant charities and is a true believer that the health and wellbeing of millions of people across the UK is down to the hard work of the charity sector.
Tim's brilliant book: 'The Running Drug': "From cancer diagnosis to marathon medal, via gloved fingers, blood tests and black toenails, The Running Drug tells the personal story of how Tim Beynon’s running addiction helped him to overcome cancer, finish his first marathon and discover a fitter, healthier future. With only one in 10,000 men contracting prostate cancer aged 40 and only one per cent of the world’s population running a marathon, Tim took on both challenges simultaneously. Recalling his journey from childhood cross-country lessons and exercise indifference to the dark days of diagnosis and the joy of completing the London Marathon, Tim’s heartwarming - and often hilarious - tale is one of stoic determination and hope."

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.
