Cancer survivor creates virtual-running website and raises £700k for charity
16.06.2023 - 05:22 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A woman who credits running with helping her recover from cancer is allowing people of all abilities to get moving for a good cause.
Susan Wheatcroft is the founder of Virtual Runner, which boasts dozens of virtual races you can walk, jog or run at any time or location, at any pace, inside or outside.
Susan explained: "Virtual Runner has brought together a unique community of runners from across the UK and beyond.
"It's breaking down barriers to physical activity and inspiring thousands to get active - all while raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity.
"Some use our races as training during preparation for bigger events, while others use them as goals to help overcome personal battles, like recovering from cancer or rehabilitation after a stroke, for example.
"Of course, others simply enjoy running for fun and collecting their medals!"
Susan has first-hand experience of the benefits that running can bring.
In 2021, she needed major surgery to remove her thyroid due to a 9cm lump in her throat which was later diagnosed as cancer.
She said: "I was in the best shape of my life going into the operation thanks to the running so I bounced back from the surgery very quickly and even managed a run only one week after the operation.
"I'm delighted to say that there is still no cancer regrowth and I remain fit and well with regular check-ups to ensure this continues.
"It hasn't all been rosy, of course. By not having a thyroid I am autoimmune and have good days and bad days with some significant side effects.
"However, running and exercise improves these massively and can even turn one of my not-so-good days into a good one.
"I truly feel that running saved my life which is perhaps why it has become my life.
"It's my

‘Welcome to Wrexham’: Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney on Getting Vulnerable, Rejuvenating a City and Gearing Up for Dramatic Season 2
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were taking on ownership of Wrexham AFC — a historic football club then playing in the fifth division of the English football system, nestled in a modest working-class community in northeast Wales — certainly qualified as a shocker. Comparatively, it was less surprising to later learn that the two were also creating a docuseries chronicling their maiden voyage as chairmen of the club, with camera crews following Wrexham’s 2021-22 season as the team attempted to secure promotion into the upper rungs of English football for the first time in well over a decade. What was surprising, however, was realizing that the docuseries in question, FX’s “Welcome to Wrexham,” is only obliquely the story of two Hollywood stars bumbling into the world of football.
