Mark, Katie, Orla, Kate, Poppy, Deone, Alex and Laura are still overwalked and underpaid! *

* but above the National Minimum Wage, in case anyone from HMRC is reading this.

On Friday 27 June 2025, the team from the Careers & Employability Service will be taking on the Big Walk in support of neurological disease research at the University of Sheffield. A challenging 20-mile hike from Ladybower reservoir, through the Peaks and back into 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 that could result in cures for these conditions in our lifetimes.

Thank you for making a gift to help us reach our fundraising goal. Any donations welcome, big or small!
