We Walk for Yorkshire

We Walk for Yorkshire 2025

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.

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.

Mother’s Day - Mum and I are walking for Yorkshire!

Sunday 30th Mar

Today is Mother’s Day so what better way to announce that Mum and I will be taking on this year’s We Walk For Yorkshire to raise money for life-saving cancer research 💙

I had originally planned to do the Three Peaks with my Yorkshire Cancer Research team but following a torn meniscus injury from running I’ve been hobbling about the past couple months!! 


So my mum @katechapman is stepping in to save the day - (as always)- so I can still take part 💪 Together we’ll be walking 75,000 steps a week - to represent the age that my wonderful Oma (grandma) passed away from lung cancer. 


The life and soul of the party, who loved hiking, painting, roller skating and gardening, my Oma shouldn’t have passed away at 75.


Perhaps if she’d had access to a pioneering screening trial like the Leeds Lung Health Check, funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research, she’d still be here today. 


Please sponsor us if you can. Every step counts and every £1 raised will go towards life-saving cancer research in Yorkshire.

Thank you to my Sponsors
