We will be walking 26.2 miles through the Peaks on Friday 22nd June to raise money for the Sheffield Scanner.  

If we surpass our £450 target, we may take suggestions for fancy dress.....

MRI-PET is the most powerful imaging technology currently available and this facility would transform our research by increasing our understanding of the causes, effects and development of many kinds of disease, including Alzheimer’s, Cancer, Heart and lung diseases, Motor Neurone Disease and Stroke.

The MRI-PET Facility would be located at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital on the central University campus, ideal for both direct clinical use and for research programmes. This would be the first MRI-PET Facility in Yorkshire and a vital investment in the health of people in this region, across the UK and beyond.

Taking place on Friday 22 June the Big Walk 2018 is a 26.2-mile marathon-distance Peak District walk.

Starting in Lodge Moor and finishing at the Octagon, the walk takes in wonderful scenery in the Peak District, including Stanage Edge, Derwent Edge, Low Bradfield and the Loxley valley.  

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