We Walk for Yorkshire 2024

This May I'm joining people across Yorkshire who are coming together to walk 31,000 miles to raise money for vital research which will help save lives in Yorkshire.

31,000 is the number of people who are diagnosed with cancer every year in Yorkshire.

People are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer in Yorkshire than in most other parts of England and, tragically, too many people die. Yorkshire Cancer Research exists to change this. With the help of people across the region, the charity funds vital research and pioneers innovative new services for people with cancer.

Every step counts, and every pound I am able to raise will help save lives in Yorkshire.

My Updates

Garmin disconnected

Saturday 1st Jun
I disconnected my watch from the site at midnight on 31/05/2024. I did around 500 step miles in the month and around 445 walking activity miles. I set lots of personal bests on my Garmin and would never try this hard in an event again. It was enjoyable.

Update 01/06/2024

Friday 31st May
Managed some Garmin personal bests during this challenge. 1 millions steps in one month. Also 102 thousand steps in one day.

Update 31/05/2024

Friday 31st May
Had a day off work today. Managed 4 walks. Total of the 4 walks was just under 50 miles.

Start point and explain

Wednesday 24th Apr
I have been walking for fitness for 12 months now. So want to try and do a charity fundraiser that was organised by Yorkshire Cancer Research. This is an organisation that I have supported for a few years. Also in support of my dear wife Marion who was diagnosed with breast cancer and is now 2 year remission.
