The Yorkie Talkies Talk
Walking Through Cancer: Simon’s Story of Strength, Recovery & the Outdoors
In this episode of Yorkie Talkies Talk , I’m joined by Simon Twigge to hear his incredibly powerful story of cancer, recovery and the role walking played throughout it all. After being diagnosed with head and neck cancer, Simon went through intensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. During some of the toughest months of his life, walking became far more than exercise, it gave him focus, helped him rebuild his strength and became a daily reminder that he was getting stronger again. We chat about his diagnosis and treatment, the support he received through Yorkshire Cancer Research’s Active Together programme , getting back into the hills and eventually taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks . It’s a brilliant reminder that getting outdoors isn't always about big miles or big mountains — sometimes simply putting one foot in front of the other can mean everything.
