This year, I’m taking part in We Walk for Yorkshire, the annual walking challenge organised by Yorkshire Cancer Research.

I’ll be joining many others across Yorkshire, to collectively walk 35,000 miles in May to help fund life-saving cancer research — that’s a mile for every person told they have cancer in Yorkshire each year.

By taking part, I hope to support a cause close to home and highlight the need for new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer in our region. If you can donate, you’ll be directly contributing to vital research and new services that will help people with cancer in Yorkshire now, and in years to come.

I’ve set myself a bit of a personal challenge as well: to walk (and swim!) at least 90 miles over the month of May, and I’ll add an extra mile on for every £10 donated.

Every bit helps and I’d be really grateful. Thanks so much for your support.
