We are working with the club to raise awareness of cancer risk factors, symptoms and screening, and to celebrate the vital research that is taking place across the region.
Now, more than ever, it’s important that we ensure cancer research remains in the hearts and minds of people in Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region.
We’ve teamed up with Leeds United to launch a fitness challenge, Challenge90. We’re asking fans to do 90 minutes of exercise every week, just the length of a football match.
Keep up to date with the latest information about our partnership with Leeds United. From exclusive raffles and competitions to information about keeping healthy.
We recently invited fans to nominate someone who has a personal experience with cancer for the chance to win hospitality tickets for some of this season’s biggest matches. Meet our Leeds United heroes.
