Delighted to announce that we've reached our £2m fundraising target for the Sheffield Scanner appeal. We received more than 11,000 donations from people around the globe, who donated to help us bring a revolutionary MRI-PET scanner to Yorkshire. Thank you! shef.ac/2GeQWFW

This amazing cake was baked by @HeatherBellamy to celebrate us reaching our target!

We're delighted to have reached our £2 million target, and we couldn't have done it without the help of all our incredible supporters - the people who have walked, run, swam, baked, quizzed, crafted - and all the people who made donations toward our fundraisers!

We have Kier Group onsite helping to build this world class facility. Great result for the appeal and huge investment in leading medical reasearch. Proud to be involved with this. @efm_online

The Sheffield Scanner appeal has been an amazing example of more than 750 staff, students, alumni and members of the public joining together to support the new MRI-PET facility for patients in Yorkshire. Well done everyone including University of Sheffield Staff University of Sheffield Students Sheffield Alumni

Gemma Middleton, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease aged 29, has supported the @sheffieldscan campaign since its launch. Her story inspired lots of people to donate to the new MRI-PET scanner. We wanted to pass on her thanks to everyone who contributed to our campaign.
