On the 22nd of June, I will be walking 26 miles in order to raise money for the Sheffield Scanner Appeal. 

The MRI-PET scanner will transform our research by increasing our understanding of the causes, effects and development of disease. With this knowledge we will be able to take exciting discoveries from the laboratory into clinical trials to develop new therapies and better outcomes for patients. Breakthroughs in research will lead to easier and faster diagnosis, characterisation, staging and treatment of disease.

Knowledge is our most powerful weapon and technologies such as these present us with incredible opportunities to fight disease on many fronts. This will be the first scanner of its type in Yorkshire, open to the University’s world-leading health and biomedical researchers as well as the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals.

The MRI-PET scanner will be invaluable for many diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Cancer, Cardiovascular diseases, Diabetes, Infectious diseases, Lung diseases, Motor Neurone Disease (MND/ALS), Parkinson’s disease and Stroke
