I’m taking part in 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.  I completed the Big Walk in 2015 and felt such a sense of achievement as it was the furthest I had ever walked.  Unfortunately due to a foot operation I was unable to participate in last year's walk so I am determined this year to go for it!  I am also doing this for my Dad who sadly passed away last year.   He was very supportive when I did the last walk and knew how disappointed I was when I couldn't take part in 2017.  I know how proud he would have been for me taking part in something to raise money for a cause which means such a lot to our family.

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!

Further information about the Sheffield Scanner can be found at

Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond.
