Locals were invited to walk 2.5km, 5km, or 10km

Dozens braved the rain this morning to join an Alzheimer's research walk in Leeds.

Seven Rotary Clubs from across Leeds came together today for a sponsored walk with an aim of raising £40,000 to support dementia-related research.

Locals were invited to walk 2.5km, 5km, or 10km around Temple Newsam to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

The Rotary Leeds Walk was first created by Headingley Rotarian Drew Dodds in 2024.

Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Steve Riding joined the walkers...
