Registrations are now open for the annual Walk As One fundraiser in Sheffield, a community event raising funds for Weston Park Cancer Charity. The event will take place on September 13, 2026, at Endcliffe Park, with participants choosing from three routes through local parklands and the Peak District moors. Every step supports essential cancer research and patient care.
Routes and Accessibility
Walk As One offers routes suited for all abilities, including a short path designed for full accessibility. A family route takes a pleasant path towards Forge Dam, while a longer route offers a day out across the Peak District moors. The event features a warm atmosphere with live music and local refreshments at the finish line.
Participants can sign up online at westonpark.org.uk/events/walk-as-one-2026. The cost is not specified in the source, but registration is required.
Tribute Cards and Reflection
Walkers will receive a special tribute card to write a heartfelt message in memory of a loved one. These messages will be displayed in a quiet area of reflection during the event, providing a space for remembrance.
Double Olympian Joslyn Hoyte-Smith MBE Joins
Double Olympian Joslyn Hoyte-Smith MBE has already signed up to walk in memory of Uriah Rennie, a beloved charity patron and local icon who passed away last year. Hoyte-Smith said: “Above all else, Uri cared about people. He was passionate about making a difference, which is why his work as a Weston Park Cancer Charity patron was so important to him.” She added: “To have the chance to walk in his memory, while raising money for a cause so close to his heart, is an absolute privilege. I can’t wait to Walk As One, and I’d like to thank everyone who has supported me so far. For one in two of us, cancer will change everything. But together, so can we.”
Charity Leaders Urge Community Participation
Emma Clarke, CEO of Weston Park Cancer Charity, said: “Every year, Walk As One brings our community together to share stories, build hope, and create change. Whether you sign up in memory of a loved one, or to honour your own cancer journey, your participation will make a huge impact. Thank you for helping us to fund the vital services that will help more people in our region to live well - with and beyond cancer.” The event is open to everyone across the region, with charity leaders inviting participants to lace up their shoes and join in, making a lasting difference for local families facing a cancer diagnosis.
