About the author

I began my events fundraising career in 2018 at a heritage railway, securing the Warner Bros. Polar Express experience, which attracted 40,000 attendees and raised over £100,000 in its first year. In 2020, I joined Yorkshire Cancer Research as an Event Officer and was promoted to Community and Events Fundraising Manager in 2022. I organise various campaigns and events, notably the Tour De Walkshire in 2022. This virtual event encouraged participants to walk, run, or cycle in May, partnering with Welcome to Yorkshire and raising £150,000—surpassing its £50,000 target and becoming one of the largest fundraising events in the charity's history.
