Together, we can walk to help save lives in Yorkshire

Each year, 35,000 people in Yorkshire are told they have cancer. That's why we’re walking 35,000 miles this May, to fund life-saving cancer research. 

Let's walk for new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer. Let's walk for the people who need them now and for those who will benefit in the future. ​

Every step counts, so let’s walk Yorkshire together.

Getting started in three simple steps

1. Become a 'We Walker'

Sign up as an individual, team or workplace to help clock up the miles this May.

2. Walk your way

You decide how far, how often and where you want to walk! Every person and every mile makes an impact.

3. Start fundraising

The funds you raise will help save lives. Ask friends, family and colleagues to support you - your fundraising page will tally up how many hours of research your donations could fund.

Every mile represents a person in Yorkshire with cancer

Whoever or whatever you're walking for, every mile matters
