I’m taking part in The Big Walk 2018, a walking challenge on 22 June – a 26.2 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.
I took part in the Big Walk 2017 and managed to walk (or hobble) 37.5 miles. At that point I said 'never again', but time can make you forget the difficult bits and just remember the good times. So I am back! It's a slightly shorter distance, but I do not do regular exercise so this will still be a massive challenge for me. However, the cause
is such a worthy one. So if you can, please dig deep. Last year’s Big Walk nearly finished me off, but I really want to help everyone get to our £2 million target!
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.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE BIG WALK 2018 AND THE SHEFFIELD SCANNER CAMPAIGN!
