We Walk For Yorkshire

Let’s walk for a Yorkshire free from cancer

By taking part in We Walk For Yorkshire, you can help fund life-saving cancer research and boost your wellbeing in Yorkshire’s great outdoors. Every step counts, so let’s walk Yorkshire together.

This May, we’re walking 35,000 to fund life-saving cancer research - one mile for every person told they have cancer in Yorkshire each year.

The more people who take part, the more miles we can walk and the more life-saving funds we can raise.
