Why Yorkshire needs you
Yorkshire is one of the regions hardest hit by cancer - sadly more people in our region are likely to have their lives cut short by cancer than almost anywhere else in England.
By fundraising for Yorkshire Cancer Research, you are helping to change this. Your support enables us to fund pioneering cancer research that saves lives right here in Yorkshire, in your town, your city and your community.
Quote from Mervyn
I was determined to complete the marathon for my friend Nick and the 100+ sponsors who put their faith in me. It was tough, but we had a great day, and the atmosphere was electric.
Having support from friends and family fuelled me forward. You're not just sponsoring a run; you're investing in life-saving research, supporting families like Nick's, and bringing hope to those who need it most.”
