Faster Diagnosis Programme Manager, Lucy Beckingham, is participating in the We Walk for Yorkshire Challenge. She's aiming to walk 200 miles by the end of May and has already completed 186 miles of her target.
Last weekend she joined the 5K Your Way initiative at Greenhead Park and also walked some of the Pennine Way to clock up some more miles for the challenge. The 5k Your Way initiative is for anyone impacted by cancer. The group meet at Greenhead Park, Huddersfield, and Shroggs Park, Halifax, on the last Saturday of each month at 9am.
We Walk for Yorkshire is a walking challenge lead by Yorkshire Cancer Research for anyone who wants to keep active and help improve cancer outcomes. The charity encourages and helps people across Yorkshire participate in a new service which supports their cancer treatment and aids in recovery. They also invest in pioneering genetics research that will help to find cancers at an earlier stage.
Lucy said: "I work in cancer services and also have close family members living with cancers, so I am keen to support this charity."
