I’m stepping out for Yorkshire Cancer Research this May. The challenge I have set myself is walking the Leeds-Liverpool Canal over 4 days, the equivalent of 127 miles, and it's all to raise money for life-saving cancer research in Yorkshire.

My challenge for 2022: Leeds-Liverpool Canal

For my 2022 challenge, I'm going to walk the 127-mile Leeds-Liverpool Canal over four consecutive days in May.
My £635 target is £5 per mile - I'd love your support to help get me to that.
Draft plan is:
Thursday, May 5: Liverpool-Wigan (33 miles)
Friday, May 6: Wigan-Church (30.5 miles, to the official halfway point)
Saturday, May 7: Church-Skipton (34.5 miles)
Sunday, May 8: Skipton-Leeds (29 miles)
If anyone wants to join me for part of a day, it would be great to have someone come along.
1 in 2 people will experience cancer in their lifetime. Yorkshire Cancer Research is an independent cancer charity funding pioneering research to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer in the region.
Please support my efforts and help more people in Yorkshire survive cancer.
