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.

Why are we “walking for Yorkshire”
Monday 18th May I am extremely proud to be a Yorkshire Cancer Research Ambassador, raising awareness of this brutal and punishing disease in this area, whilst fighting for earlier diagnoses, improved research and more importantly, better outcomes for cancer patients in Yorkshire. As a stage 3C Testicular Cancer survivor, myself and our family know the importance of the vital work that YCR do on a daily basis, and want to walk for Yorkshire to help raise money for this incredible charity. If you can, Please donate to this wonderful cause, as you will be making a huge difference to those people who need support in their darkest hours.Let's walk together
