Gwen's fundraiser for University of Sheffield

University of Sheffield - The Big Walk 2025 in support of Neurological Disease Research · 27 June 2025
Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page. On Friday 27 June, I’ll be joining the Big Walk (run!!) in support of neurological disease research at the University of Sheffield.
By donating to Sheffield’s research, you’ll help to fund vital new treatments that will bring hope to so many people. One in six people, and one in four over the age of 80, will develop a significant neurological disorder in their lifetimes. Neurological diseases such as Motor Neuron Disease, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, dementia, and stroke can have devastating effects. These diseases are notoriously difficult to treat, with current treatments masking symptoms rather than curing the root cause of these terrible illnesses.
Your support could truly be a catalyst for transformative breakthroughs in cures for these conditions in our lifetimes.
I'm running the 31 miles from Whinstone Lee tor on Derwent Edge, to Ladybower Reservoir, Alport Castles, Crook Hill, along Bamford, Stanage and Burbage Edges, and down Porter Valley to finish at Endcliffe Village. Thank you for making a gift to help me reach my fundraising goal!
