Get out and about for Tour de Walkshire

A month-long fundraising drive by Welcome to Yorkshire and Yorkshire Cancer Research smashed its target in just five days.

Now, the aim for Tour de Walkshire is to achieve £75,000.

Many people have already signed up for the event, which had an original target of £50,000.

People are asked to walk, cycle, run or push at whatever individual distance chosen, throughout May. “It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy meeting up with friends, family and colleagues outdoors, whilst raising money for Yorkshire Cancer Research,” said organisers.

A host of celebrities will be taking part in the #TourdeWalkshire and their involvement will be shared throughout this month.

All who register will receive a free Tour de Walkshire T-shirt: visit https:// join.yorkshirecancerresearch.org.uk/event/tourde-walkshire-2021/home.

Welcome to Yorkshire’s #Walkshire initiative, launched on January 1, urges people to do a walk every day of the year.
