I’m Feng, taking part in The Big Walk 2018, a walking challenge on 22 June – a 26.2 miles 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.

In my home country I’m an administrator of a University and a five-year-old boy’s father. Usually I’m not confident and have no courage to challenge myself. When I studied in English Language Teaching Centre for six months, I realized that I want to try something new and to be a better student, staff, husband and father. Also, this little help is my endless gratitude to the University of Sheffield before leaving. This’ll be my first Big Walk and I’ve never walked further than 15 miles but I’m determined to get to the finish! Help me get my best steps total ever!

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 half-way to our target of £2 million – please support the Big Walk 2018 and help us reach our final goal!

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