The Northamptonshire mum on a mission said her new charity will help others with cancer and living with a current cancer diagnosis through fitness and wellness related activities funded by the Foundation.
Victoria has established the charity as her lasting legacy as she lives with a terminal cancer diagnosis. Victoria, 38, who is mum to five-year-old daughter Isla, took on fundraising fitness challenges to successfully raise £40,000 to establish The Tor-Rox Foundation after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.
The highly anticipated launch event, at the end of March, was an overwhelming success, bringing together an inspiring community of supporters, businesses and individuals passionate about empowering people with cancer through exercise.
Victoria said: “The charity launch event was incredible, we had hundreds of guests, the evening was filled with love, support and a shared determination to make a difference – the energy in the room was incredible!”
The launch event, said Victoria, marked the beginning of a movement that will change lives through the power of exercise.
She added: “Seeing so many people come together, not just to support me, but to support this mission, truly meant the world to me. This isn’t just about one event – it’s about the future we’re building, where cancer patients feel strong, capable and empowered.
“I was overwhelmed by the kindness, the generosity, and the belief in what we’re doing. Through exercise, and finding Empowerment Training Centre, it changed my life, and through the Foundation I want to ensure others have the same opportunity. This is just the beginning, we’re not just launching a charity; we’re launching a movement and I know we are going to change lives.”
The Tor-Rox Foundation is now accepting applications, which are welcomed from across England and Wales.
The Tor-Rox Foundation is a registered charity in England and Wales (1211496)
