We Walk 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.

My challenge is to walk from my house in north Leeds to work at the start of May. The route will be around 17 miles. Everyone is welcome to join me if you have a similar commute or want to keep me company - I'm imagining a bit of a Forrest Gump situation, turning up at work with a huge crowd of friends and a long beard. Maybe.

I aim to walk 17 miles because 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.

Every step counts and every pound I am able to raise will help save lives in Yorkshire.
