We Walk For Yorkshire

Let’s walk for a Yorkshire free from cancer

We Walk For Yorkshire provides an opportunity to boost your wellbeing by getting outdoors and exploring our beautiful region. Every step counts and every pound raised will help save lives in Yorkshire.

This May, to mark 100 years of groundbreaking cancer research in the region, you can help raise £100,000 to bring more cancer cures to people in Yorkshire.

How it works

What
Choose where you want to walk and how many miles. Do a big walk on one day or spread your miles across the month, it’s up to you.

How
Sign up online to join the challenge, then get out in the great outdoors in May! See your individual, team and total miles and funds build up. You can also opt to receive a free branded T-shirt when you raise over £10.

Why
By taking on a walking challenge, you are doing something great for your own health. By fundraising along the way, you are helping to save lives in Yorkshire. Every step counts towards life-saving cancer research that will help people in Yorkshire.
