Join our moving challenge and help us cover a distance of 50,000 km
- £50 could accelerate the discovery of new therapies by covering the cost of a clinical trial for a day.

Between 3 and 7 May, we’re challenging you to cover a combined distance of 50,000km in aid of Parkinson’s research at Sheffield. You can choose your distance and join your fellow Sheffield supporters in running, walking, cycling or swimming to help us make a breakthrough in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
Aim to raise at least £50 for Parkinson’s research and help us back the next breakthrough. Sign up on JustGiving to get started, and pledge your distance target.

You can easily track your activity by connecting your fundraising page directly with the Strava app. You can also join our Big Week Strava club to connect with other Big Week participants.

Whether you do this, or you record your distance manually, you can start tracking your challenge on your page from 1 May.
