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.

“I’ve done a few half marathons before but this felt like a really iconic one, especially getting to start in the city centre but also run out into the Peak District.

"There was brilliant support the whole way round. Ross even got a personal best.”
