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.

Yorkshire Three Peaks
Monday 4th May
And we’re off
Saturday 2nd May Thank you so much to everyone supporting my efforts this month. I started off my first day with 12 miles yesterday. Today I’ll take it a wee bit easier in prep for tomorrow’s Yorkshire Three Peaks walk (25 miles) although I have walked 3.5 miles this morning and will most certainly do another short walk later. Have a great bank holiday weekend!Thank you to my Sponsors
