Sarah Livesey @refreshbwd is taking part in our #imnotamuslimbutiwillfastforoneday campaign. Sarah is taking part in the campaign for the first time this year stating “I am taking part in I’m not a Muslim, but I will fast for one day, because I would like to pay respect for those who are fasting, to walk a day in their shoes.   I am doing well fasting, I however, did not wake up to have a drink or have food, as I forgot. It is interesting to see how much you think about having a drink when you cannot have it.” Campaign supported by @bwdletsfoster

Bryony Quinn, Health and Wellbeing Hub Coordinator at @refreshbwd is taking part in our #imnotamuslimbutiwillfastforoneday campaign. This is the first time Bryony is taking part. She states “It was odd getting up and eating at 5am this morning because I don’t eat breakfast usually. The fast is going fine. It’s just not being able to drink anything that’s a little difficult.” Supported by @bwdletsfoster

Battling breast cancer isn’t easy , but it’s easier when you have a group of women lifting you up high 💕 Thank you to all those who truly see my struggle in all its raw reality. Recovery isn’t cheap l, that’s why I made sure I have arrangements for free or heavily subsidised counselling, cycling exercise and other wellbeing services 💟 #Undefeatable Read my story on here 👇🏼 bewellbwd.com/active-living-… Email: [email protected] @aws29 @ActiveLancs @Sport_England @TNLComFund @PostcodeLottery @rahilabano @ykhan100 @CommunityCVS @macmillancancer @SU2CUK @undefeatable @refreshbwd @BwD_NHS @BwdChampions @bobgower3 @apcarr33 @JoiStie20 @DawnLlewellyn @UnitingComOrg @khansali7 @BreastCancerNow @thismorning @rahilabano

"I never thought 12 years ago that I’d be where I am today." After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 39, Chris joined group sessions supported by @refreshbwd. Since then, he’s regained his ability to walk, improving his life and helping him feel part of a community.

One of our local legends in @blackburndarwen Bob initially came thru our cardiac rehab team & had extensive 121 support to get him back on track. Now he's absolutely flying & #volunteers with our @refreshbwd team every week, helping others on their own #health journeys. #cycling
When Bob’s heart began to fail in his late 40s, his only option was to have a LVAD heart pump fitted. Now a keen cyclist and walker, Bob finds great reward in volunteering with the Refresh Cycle Programme. Find out more about his story: bewellbwd.com/active-living-… #WeAreUndefeatable
