On the 9th April three members of the Dearneside Management team will be running the Sheffield Half Marathon raising funds for the Sheffield University Scanner Appeal.

A particularly challenging course lays ahead for the Dearneside Team, which includes Jason Young (Finance Director), Michael Bower (Works Manager) and Joe Bishop (London Site Manager).

A justgiving page has been set up for all online donations –  Justgiving Page

The Sheffield Scanner Appeal aims to raise vital funds needed to bring the first MRI-PET scanner to the region – one of only eight in the UK – which will enhance our understanding of serious conditions such as:

Alzheimer’s disease; cancer; epilepsy; heart and lung disease; Motor Neurone Disease (MND); Multiple Sclerosis; Parkinson’s disease and stroke and the way we treat them in the future.

An MRI-PET combines the simultaneous power of whole body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in a single scan to provide the best images of inside the human body.
