Last year Una Gillespie did a 40km virtual walk by completing 10km every week for 4 weeks. Her friends and family joined her virtually from across the country and the world. Una has Diffuse Scleroderma which affects her skin and internal organs including her lungs so this is an amazing achievement anyway, but on top of that she has raised over £5,850! In this video, Una tells you why you should take up challenge and continue the walking.
Sara has scleroderma, she took on the Virtual relay Walk last year with her partner. They walked 10km in June 2020 and raised £420!
