Description
Lace up your running shoes for a 5K fun run or UKA chip-timed 10K and raising lifesaving funds for local patients with head injuries, brain tumours and other complex neurological conditions.
You’ll be joining #TeamNeurocare in our fight to improve the lives of patients with brain tumours, head injuries and other complex neurological conditions. We support Sheffield’s world-leading neuroscience departments by funding specialist equipment, pioneering research, patient and family support services and the transformation of hospital wards into more comfortable and welcoming spaces. Click here to find out more about Neurocare and the projects you could support, including our urgent glioblastoma brain cancer research appeal.
Please help us raise more than ever in 2020! To celebrate the start of an exciting new decade, we’re asking all runners to consider donating or raising £20 for #HeadStart20 to support the life-changing work we do. Your gift will make such a difference for patients, their families and the NHS staff who care for them. What’s more, if you set up an online fundraising page via JustGiving, we’ll send you a FREE Neurocare Cotton T-Shirt to wear on race day (RRP £10)!
