Thanks for visiting our Big Walk 2018 Just Giving page. More information about The Big Walk 2018 can be found at: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/alumni/sheffieldscanner/big-walk

We're taking part in The Big Walk 2018, a walking challenge on 22 June – a 26.2 mile marathon distance Peak District walk starting in Lodge Moor on the edge of Sheffield, heading out to the Peak District and ending on the University campus.

The Walkie Talkies are the finest physical specimens that the university's Corporate Communications department has to offer [citation needed]. Last year’s Big Walk was a gruelling challenge which tested the Walkie Talkies to their limits, and this year we're back with a (mostly) new team to tackle it once again.

Why are we doing this?

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.

We’re well over halfway to our target of £2 million – please support the Big Walk 2018 and help us reach our final goal!

Please donate to this fantastic cause which will have a terrific impact for everyone in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond.
