Story
Thanks for visiting my Big Walk 2018 Just Giving page. More information about The Big Walk 2018 can be found at: www.sheffield.ac.uk/alumni/sheffieldscanner/big-walk
I’m taking part in The Big Walk 2018, a walking challenge on 22 June – a 26.2 marathon distance Peak District walk, ending on the University campus. Many of you will know that I walked the original Big Walk in 2015, which was slightly longer - 287 miles over 15 days to be precise! You might then wonder how I have the nerve to ask for sponsorship for this feeble 26.2 miles then?! Well there are two good reasons...

1. We are raising funds towards the University’s £2 million fundraising campaign for the Sheffield Scanner - a ground-breaking MRI-PET scanner facility, and the first of its kind in Yorkshire. The Sheffield Scanner will represent the next leap forward in medical and imaging research and have a crucial role for research and patients in many areas of medicine, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases such as Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
2. Since completing the original Big Walk, I've had surgery on my foot for severe arthritis. I now have a bionic foot - with a metal plate, one nail and four screws! And I can no longer bend my toe joint! It was a long and slow recovery, but I finally feel able to take on another challenge!
We’re over three quarters of the way to our target of £2 million – please support the Big Walk 2018 and help us reach our final goal!
