Jump! Jump, for your life! Literally, this is what groups of women were doing at their gyms on Friday, to commemorate International Breast Cancer Awareness Day on Saturday 19th October.

Although these fabulously fit women are full of life and vigour, we all know someone who is fighting a battle against breast cancer, has survived this fight, or sadly not.

As women, we are all frighteningly aware of just how vulnerable we all are. But then, focused on in such a way, with T-shirts purchased that fund the struggle toward finding a cure for this disease – plus terrific exercise sessions headed by Nathalie Quinquis at May’s Gym in Almuñécar and Marian Serrano Ruíz at the gym Fusion Cuerpo Mente in La Herradura – that make us appreciate just how wonderful the gift of life is and how we all need to look after ourselves to maintain it!
