We Walk (or ride up hills) 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 (or in my case 'ride') 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.

30,000 people are told they have cancer every year in Yorkshire. This has inspired me to ride my trusty bike up 30,000ft in May. For context this is the height of mount Everest. Yes , that's right dear reader, EVEREST!

It will be an uphill battle, but not as much as an uphill battle as having a cancer diagnosis I imagine. Every pound raised will go towards life saving research!

The Challenge

Tuesday 25th Mar

30,000 people are told they have cancer every year in Yorkshire. To help raise money to prevent, diagnosis and treat cancer in Yorkshire I will ride my trusty bike up 30,000ft in May. For context this is the height of mount Everest. Yes , that's right dear reader, EVEREST! It will be an uphill battle, but not as much as an uphill battle as having a cancer diagnosis I imagine...
