We Walk For Yorkshire

Taking place in May, We Walk For Yorkshire provides an opportunity to boost your own wellbeing by getting outdoors and exploring our beautiful region.

31,000 is the number of people who are diagnosed with cancer every year in Yorkshire so we're challenging our community of supporters to collectively walk 31,000 miles to help raise vital funds.

Every step counts and every pound raised will help save lives in Yorkshire.
