This May I have set myself the challenge to "Walk 100 miles in May" in memory of my dear mum Jane Scott-Priestley. 

Every Sunday in May I intend to embark on one of her favorite walks in Yorkshire and hope that friends and family can join me either for 1 mile or 100miles! Best dust down those walking boots! 

Some of you may know that Yorkshire Cancer Research was a charity very close to mum, where she was part of the Vale committee and was successful in organising many events to raise money for such an amazing Charity. 

Sadly we lost mum 3 years ago in 2022 after she battled with cancer herself. She always loved walking even through her treatment when she was feeling weak we would walk to the holly bush and back. But before she was ill she did her daily circuit walk to the river, a walk with friends up the dales or a Yorkshire beach walk, she often had a need to see the sea! She even walked the C2C and set up a B&B business to cater for walkers as we live directly on the route! Mum really valued the well-being aspects of a good walk! Throughout my childhood and into adulthood she would always suggest we went for a "Walk and Talk" 

When i heard about the YCR "Walk for Yorkshire" i knew this was something i had to get involved in. Come and join me and lets " Walk and Talk" 

Together this will 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.
