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 walk 35,000 miles in May to help fund life-saving cancer research.
Why 35,000? That’s the number of people who are told they have cancer in Yorkshire every year. By walking in May, I’m helping save lives in our region.
By taking part, I’m helping to shine a light on the need for new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer in our region.
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.
Thank you for anything you’re able to donate. It will make a real difference.

Well on the way to my 31 miles target
Tuesday 12th May Another mile completed this morning so that's 27 miles walked so far. There are still 19 days left in May, so I might need to increase my 31 miles target as I think I am going to smash that ! 😁

Thursday 30th Apr My goal is to walk 31 miles in May to raise money for Yorkshire Cancer research. I am a cancer survivor myself, and this is resulting from early detection and treatment which was made possible through vital research. By raising funds, this ensures that cancer research can continue so more people can survive. Any amount that you can donate is very much appreciated 🙏 Thank you love Debs xxThank you to my Sponsors
