    Who is the walking coach?  

    In 2026, Michele Lippus (57) decided to become a walking coach at Pink Ribbon. Having undergone cancer treatment herself, she knows better than anyone that afterward your body is tired and your energy levels are unpredictable. With her walking group, she wants to help people recovering from cancer exercise at a pace that suits them, so they can gradually get back to being themselves. 

    If she had to describe herself in three words, Michele would say she is curious, level-headed, and easygoing.

    How often do we go hiking?  

    Michele meets up with her group at various times: every Thursday morning, every other week (from June to October) for an evening walk, and once a month on a Sunday for a themed walk. The walks will range from 3 to 7 km and will always be taken at a leisurely pace, without dawdling. 

    The exact meeting point and time will be arranged via WhatsApp. 

    What region are we hiking in?  

    Sa Marsj goes for walks in the Mechelen region and along the border with Flemish Brabant: Muizen, Bonheiden, and Boortmeerbeek.

    Restorative yoga: regaining wellness, inner peace and self-confidence in the fight against breast cancer

    When we are told the diagnosis of cancer, that news causes an inner storm. We are overwhelmed with stress and anxiety and have a harder time keeping our emotions in check. How do we regain our inner peace and break free from thoughts about the disease? And if we are unable to exercise or engage in any dynamic activity after surgery or specific treatment, what gentle methods can help? How do we learn to recover deeply?
