100 KM This May for We Walk for Yorkshire 2025

This May we're joining people across Yorkshire who are coming together to raise money for vital research that will help save lives in Yorkshire.

We are aspiring to walk 100km in May as a family to celebrate 100 years of ground breaking research in the region. 

Some of you may not know that I lost my Dad to lung cancer back in 2008, then 3 years later, my sister was diagnosed with APL, which is a rare form of leukaemia. Had she been diagnosed in previous years, this would have been a terminal diagnosis, but thanks to research, improvement had been made to the treatment which meant she made a full recovery.  

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.
