Quote from Jonathan
I started volunteering with my wife. When I saw Shindo coming home with a spring in her step and a glint in her eye, I thought – that must be a nice place to spend your time.
Additionally, Yorkshire Cancer Research helped a very old and good friend of mine, Rick, through some tough times. He attended the Active Together programme at the Yorkshire Cancer Research Centre, which helped him a huge amount before he sadly passed away. I wanted to give something back.
