REBEL TO BE WELL
Pursue a More Meaningful Path to Health
2025 marked ten years since a personal cancer diagnosis and a deep passion for the mountains inspired the foundation of Outdoor Against Cancer. What began as one women’s vision has grown into a movement reaching people across Europe and beyond. In an exclusive interview, Petra Thaller reflects on a remarkable decade of impact, growth, and resilience.
Over the years, OAC has built an impressive portfolio of European initiatives, from Outdoor Against Cancer: Move Yourself, Go Out and Live (OAC: my goal) to the Outdoor Against Cancer Connects Us (OACCUs) and Rock Your HEALTH (RYHEALTH), a European health education programme for schools.
At the heart of all activities lies OAC’s mission to combine education, training, and physical activity, including evidence based outdoor exercise programmes, to support as many people affected by cancer and their social environment as best as possible.
