Quote from Darren
The Yorkshire Cancer Research Influencers either have or have had cancer or have supported a loved one with cancer. For some of us, it’s both.
Cancer has changed our lives – but it doesn’t define who we are.
We’re turning our experiences into action to make things better for others facing cancer in Yorkshire. By influencing the work of the charity, we are helping make a difference.”
