Dr @lucygossage.bsky.social was the first keynote at our 2025 Retreat.

Oncologist, professional Ironman champion, and founder of 5K Your Way, Dr Gossage also did her PhD at @cruk-ci.bsky.social.

Recalling this time, she said "completing a PhD and training for an Ironman are remarkably similar!"

Aww thanks Lisa. X

It’s time we prescribe movement.
