This May I'm joining people across Yorkshire who are coming together to raise money for vital research that will help save lives in Yorkshire. During May I'm aiming to walk or run at least 100 miles. As part of this challenge, I'm running the Manchester half marathon on 18th May, so the training and the race itself will certainly help add to the mileage. 

Every 17 minutes, someone in Yorkshire is told they have cancer. People are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer in Yorkshire than in most other parts of England and, tragically, too many people die.

This May, I would like to help change this, by taking part in We Walk for Yorkshire to raise money for Yorkshire Cancer Research. Thanks to supporters, 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.
