Welcome to the Sa Marsj Walking Group! by Michèle Lippus
Who is the walking coach?
Michèle Lippus (57) decided in 2026 to become a walking coach at Pink Ribbon. Having undergone cancer treatment herself, she knows better than anyone that afterward your body feels tired and your energy levels are unpredictable. With her walking group, she wants to help people who have recovered from or are recovering from cancer to exercise at a pace that suits them.
In three words, Michèle would describe herself as resourceful, a nature lover, and resilient.
How often do we go hiking?
Michèle meets up with her group at various times:
- Thursday: every week in the morning
- Wednesday: every other week in the evening (from June through September)
- Sunday: Monthly themed walk
The meeting point and time will be announced via the Sa Marsj! WhatsApp group.
What region are we hiking in?
Sa Marsj! offers walks in the Mechelen region and along the border with Flemish Brabant: Muizen, Bonheiden, and Boortmeerbeek.

New research shows: active lifestyle most beneficial for breast cancer
The beneficial impact of physical activity on survival after a breast cancer diagnosis has been demonstrated repeatedly. A new large-scale study comparing the effects on different types of cancer shows that the impact is greatest for breast cancer.
Start Walking: Tips for Beginners
Some risk factors for breast cancer are beyond your control, but others are within your control. For example, you’re at increased risk if you lead a sedentary lifestyle and get less than 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. And you certainly don’t have to run a marathon; a brisk daily walk not only lowers your risk of breast cancer, but exercise also speeds up your recovery and reduces the risk of recurrence. Walking is also an accessible activity that you can do almost anywhere. Still, there are a few important points to keep in mind for beginner walkers. The Wandelsport Vlaanderen vzw walking federation has listed some helpful tips for you.
Walking reduces risk of breast cancer and relapse
