Our mission is to promote research, principally in Yorkshire, into the cause and cure of cancer and to publish and share the results of this research with the world's scientific community for the benefit of mankind.

Paul Cording, a Police Officer in North Yorkshire, has just returned from Morocco after completing the toughest footrace on the planet, and raised £9000 for Yorkshire Cancer Research. Paul joined around 900 people from all over the world to take part in the endurance race across 238 miles of desert in six days. 

Paul began the endurance race in Morocco on 27^th March and crossed the finish line on 6^th April. This very popular annual event requires dedicated training, participants must carry all their own supplies and run the equivalent of 5 and a half regular marathons in the Sahara Desert. Eight people took part in the Marathon des Sables event this year on behalf of Yorkshire Cancer Research and so far they have raised £61,479.00.
