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.

1 Week Done
Friday 8th May Well thats the firdt week completed and my body knows about, chest hurts from breathing too much outside air haha, seriously a few aches and pains but the good type that tell you that you've done something good, and the biggest challenge has been the motivation to stay consistent, but im ahead of where I need to be and determined to keep going. Even with the added challenge of next week being on holiday. Let see if beach front miles feel any different
The challenge begins
Friday 1st May 1st May means its the start of my we walk for Yorkshire challenge, im nervous but also excited and determined to push myself to achieve something ive never done before, I cant wait to meet up with my team at the end of the month to celebrate everyone's accomplishments.

They supported me with fitness in the gym and 1:1 training to ensure I was as fit as possible before my surgery, also offered emotional support through a councilor.Thank you to my Sponsors
