Cancer Take a Hike!
We are a supportive hiking community created by and for people affected by cancer.
Being active after cancer can feel daunting. We "get" it and that's why our walks are about participation, not performance. There is no pressure to be a mountain goat, no expectation to push beyond what feels right, and no judgement.
We believe in the quiet power of putting one foot in front of the other and slowing down to experience the magic in the mountains.
Our purpose is simple. To provide a safe, supportive, and welcoming community where people can move, reconnect with nature, enjoy gentle companionship and feel a sense of accomplishment, at their own pace. A good sense of humour and a strong snacks game are also encouraged!
Safety is at the heart of everything we do.
Our walks are led by experienced guides with lived experience of a cancer diagnosis. We understand the needs of cancer survivors and prioritise care, awareness, and support.
Our hikes are not about personal bests, speed, or summit times. They’re about breathing deeply again, trusting our bodies, sharing stories, enjoying quiet moments and finding strength in fresh air and friendship.
Above all, we aim to create a sense of belonging.
Whether you come for the movement, the mountains, the snacks, or the shared understanding, this is a space where recovery is honoured, stories are respected, and no one has to walk alone.
We’re passionate about building a supportive community and would love you to join us in telling cancer to take a hike. Unless otherwise stated, our hikes are currently free of charge. A donation to the Marie Keating Foundation is always welcome!
Please give what you can and please share our page with others so we can reach even more families across Ireland.
Thank you so much—your generosity means the world.
Much love from your sole sisters,
Dearbhaile and Karen
