The team at Kerfoot are planning to walk the Yorkshire 3 Peaks for a charity close to our hearts, Yorkshire Cancer Research. We lost a colleague at the end of 2018 and wanted to do something to raise money for this worthy cause and bring people from across the company together. We have nearly a third of our people taking part in the walk or supporting on the day. We aim to raise £5,000 but more importantly awareness amongst our people about cancer, the signs and symptoms and what you can do to stay healthy and help minimise the risk of developing a form of cancer through events and workshops supported by the team at Yorkshire Cancer Research.
