#BerksHER: Debbie's story
I've always loved sport and was looking for something new, particularly a team sport, been a hockey player in the past, tennis lately and now football with this new inspiring bunch of people.

#BerksHER: Aine's story
I had a relapse after 'sailing through' (both my Surgeon and Oncologist used this term) - a double Masectomy , 6 months Chemo, 3 weeks Radiotherapy (that damaged my trachea), settling into a 5yr Tamoxifen plan + a 2yr Abermarciclib (Chemo drug) plan. I'm 1 year into the drugs cycle. Read More »

#BerksHER: Annalise's story
I currently play football for the brand new women's football team, Berks County Women FC. I have been playing football since I stopped doing Gymnastics at aged 16/17. I have always had a passion for football and it has always been in our family. Football has been a release for me and I always get excited to go to training, play a match or even watch football; in all weathers too! Read More »

Already these have been hugely varied, and range from an endless pool in a friend's back garden to the stunning Lake Windermere, and from waterfalls pools in streams in the Lake District to a Victorian tidal sea pool in Devon last week.

#BerksHER: Emma's Story
I had a very active childhood, spending most of my young life riding my bike. But I did hate PE and competitive games.. (though currently, whilst watching the Women's World Cup, in another life I dream I am a Lioness!).
Being inspired in my early 20s by the Riot Grrrl scene led me to try to learn to skateboard (not very well!) So my 20s and 30s activities were basically dancing at indie nights and walking around town and to the station! Read More »

#BerksHER: Kate's Story
I imagine that my exercising story starts the way that most women's does. I was quite an active child, did some gymnastics, enjoyed PE at school but then I wen to university and got a bit lazy…with the exception of walking back from bars at night. Read More »
