Meet the Professionals Behind The Cancer Movement
We are Sarah and Steph. Cancer exercise professionals and cancer survivors who understand first hand the challenges of exercising through and beyond a cancer diagnosis. The Cancer Movement, launching in July 2026, is a shared passion project, offering free and easy-to-follow exercise support for everyone affected by cancer. It is founded in science, backed by lived experience and delivered with knowledge and love. It's a pleasure to meet you!
Sarah Newman
Founder
Cancer and Exercise Specialist, Personal Trainer and Breast Cancer Rehab Coach. Sarah is Director of Get Me Back UK. After having been diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2018, while pregnant, exercise formed a huge part of her own recovery from cancer. Over time, movement transformed her body, strength and mental health after cancer. She founded Get Me Back in 2019, after realising that more exercise support was needed for cancer survivors.
Steph Lightfoot
Founder
Cancer and Exercise Specialist, Sports Therapist and Personal Trainer. Steph went through treatment for breast cancer in 2022. As a former athlete, exercise has always been a huge part of her life and identity. Cancer, and the side effects of treatment, threatened to take that away. Steph founded Cancercoach.me in 2024, offering 1:1 online fitness coaching for cancer survivors, after regaining her own strength and fitness after cancer.
We Are Supported By
We have created The Cancer Movement in response to a gap in cancer care.
We KNOW that movement provides a huge number of benefits at all stages in the cancer journey.
We KNOW that the message is getting through.
You have told us that you WANT to move.
But that you don't know what to DO.
91% of cancer survivors know that exercise is important
But only 33% feel confident returning to it
