About Yorkshire Cancer Research

The charity's objective is to promote research in Yorkshire into the cause and cure of cancer, which today accounts for one in four deaths in the UK.

From our office in Harrogate, Yorkshire Cancer Research aims to raise in excess of £5 million each year.

Yorkshire Cancer Research funds research by awarding grants to scientists working in universities and their associated teaching hospitals throughout Yorkshire: Bradford, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and York.

The concentration of specialists and expertise in this region means that cancer sufferers right here in Yorkshire and throughout the world have access to some of the world's best treatment and therapy.

Saddle up to fight cancer!

Pedal for Pounds is a sponsored bike ride, starting and finishing within the stunning grounds of Harewood House to raise money for Yorkshire Cancer Research.

There are two circular routes; a fun 24 miles and a more challenging 47 miles.

Cancer will most likely affect all of us, in one way or another at some point in our lives; by taking part in Pedal for Pounds you can help Yorkshire Cancer Research continue its fight against cancer.

Enjoying the bike ride at Yorkshire Cancer Research

If cycling isn’t your thing then you can still help make a difference by volunteering to be an event marshal on the day. For more information please call 01423 877210.

Please note that the minimum age for this event is 11 and we cannot allow child/baby passengers.
