Thank you for visiting my Sheffield Half Marathon Just Giving page in support of the Sheffield Scanner.

On 8 April 2018 I’ll be taking part in the Run for All Sheffield Half Marathon as part of the University of Sheffield team. We’re raising funds for the University’s £2 million campaign to bring an MRI-PET scanning facility to Sheffield, the first of its kind in Yorkshire. More information about the Sheffield Scanner can be found at www.sheffield.ac.uk/sheffieldscanner

I’ve only ever run a few miles before so building up to a half marathon is a big challenge for me. I'm taking part becasue the MRI-PET scanner will help doctors to understand and develop new treatments for conditions like cancer, dementia, heart disease and many others.

We’ll be among thousands of runners who’ll descend on the city’s streets on 8 April. With a city centre start and finish, the Sheffield Half Marathon route will take us out of the city along Ecclesall Road, up the long hill beyond Hunter’s Bar, along Knowle Lane and Ringinglow Road up to the Norfolk Arms, just a few metres from the Peak District National Park, before turning left, flattening out and then descending back into Sheffield down the same stretch of Ecclesall Road towards the finish line back in the city centre. More information about the Sheffield Half Marathon can be found at https://www.runforall.com/events/half-marathon/sheffield-half-marathon/ So please support us by donating to this fantastic cause which will have a terrific impact for everyone in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond.
