The Big Walk combines two key events. The Pennine Way and the One Day Walking Challenge.

21 alumni, staff and friends will walk the full Pennine Way (including Edale to Sheffield) covering 286 miles in 15 days. On the final day (17th September)  the One Day Challenge will see over 100 individuals (including me!)  from the University walk from Edale to Sheffield covering over 18 miles.

We are doing this to raise funds for Lung Disease research at the University of Sheffield, specifically our leading research in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension - a life–threatening condition affecting the lungs and the right side of the heart.

Thank you for supporting the Big Walk, together we can make a real difference to the lives of people with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
