A BLOODWISE Balloon Walk will take place in York this month for the first time, to raise money for blood cancer research.

The event is on Sunday, March 19 and will see people set off from Bedern Hall carrying brightly coloured balloons, and follow a 5km guided route around the city streets, ending by the river.
