We Walk for Yorkshire 2026

I’m taking part in We Walk for Yorkshire, the annual walking challenge organised by Yorkshire Cancer Research. I’ll be joining others across Yorkshire and beyond, to collectively cover 35,000 miles in May to help fund life-saving cancer research - one mile for every person told they have cancer in Yorkshire each year. 

May is also the month I start my proper training for the Great North Run, my first ever half-marathon, in support of Yorkshire Cancer Research. I'll be running most of my We Walk for Yorkshire miles as part of my Great North Run training. 

By supporting my fundraising, you’ll be directly contributing to vital research and pioneering new services that will benefit people with cancer in Yorkshire now, and in the future. 

Anything you're able to give is much appreciated, and will make a real difference.
