What we do and why it is important
Outdoor Against Cancer (OAC) is an internationally operating NGO with an broad network of highly qualified partners and in-house specialists that has made health its mission: HEALTH UNITES US. Already active in health education and prevention of cancer/non-communicable diseases (NCDs). OAC has expanded its focus from cancer to all NCDs, through promotion of the four OAC pillars of a healthy lifestyle: (1) Physical Activity and Outdoor Sports; (2) Balanced Nutrition; (3) Sustainability & Nature; (4) Physical & Mental Well-Being. 
Two OAC project proposals in the framework of EU4H are  part of Europe's Beating Cancer Plan Rock Your HEALTH - RYHEALTH and Outdoor Against Cancer Connects Us - OACCUs. OAC excels at research, scientific knowledge transfer, international networking, dissemination, and communication (keynotes, spotlight, panelist, scientific board member). OAC has extensive expertise in working with vulnerable population groups. Digital tools and automated processes ensure extensive reach and visibility.

I think the idea of OAC is great, because with a cancer diagnosis, life gets very confusing at first. And sport helps to bring life back into balance. You feel your body again during sport and forget your worries, at least for this time. Already during my therapy in 2016, I took part in outdoor sports with Petra whenever I could and I have always found that I returned home in a much better mood than when I arrived. Sport outdoors and in a group with equally affected people is perfect! In my opinion, OAC makes a very important contribution to the physical and psychological regeneration of people suffering from cancer. And Petra in particular motivates very strongly with her positive nature. I am glad to have found OAC!
