Inspirational Yorkshire woman to run 70 miles honouring late mother

Gail sadly passed away just 11 days after her 60th birthday from ovarian cancer, a disease that remains under-researched and misunderstood.

Sara, who is also the Executive Director of Business Operations at Bradford-based social housing provider Incommunities, hopes that through this challenge she can raise crucial awareness and money for Ovarian Cancer Action.

On Saturday, May 3, 45-years-old Sara will set off on an emotional and physically demanding journey along the scenic yet challenging Yorkshire Wolds Way, starting near Millington.
