The Big Walk 2017 · 30 June 2017 ·
Thanks for
visiting my Big Walk 2017 Just Giving page.
More information about The Big Walk 2017 can be found at www.shef.ac.uk/big-walk
I’m takingpart in The Big Walk 2017, a walking challenge on 30 June-1 July – a 50-mile
circular walk starting and ending at the University and going out into the Peak
District. We’ll have up to 24 hours to
complete as much of the route as we can – and I’m determined to see how far I can get round , not withstanding a dodgy right knee so Ive set a target of 30 miles the see how much further I get.
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.
Further
information about the Sheffield Scanner can be found at www.sheffield.ac.uk/sheffieldscanner
So please
donate to this fantastic cause which will have a terrific impact for everyone
in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and beyond.

WALK 2017 AND THE SHEFFIELD SCANNER CAMPAIGN!
