Last year I raised funds for the Sheffield Scanner by walking 25 miles over the Yorkshire 3 Peak Challenge. This year I would like to show my support by taking part in the Big Walk 2018.

More information about The Big Walk 2018 can be found at https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/alumni/sheffieldscanner/big-walk

The Big Walk 2018, a walking challenge on 22 June – a 26.2 marathondistance Peak District walk starting in Lodge Moor on the edge of Sheffield, heading out to the Peak District and ending on the University campus.

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 Walk2018 and help us reach our final goal!
