Maryborough resident Irene Allan participated in the May 50K challenge to help raise funds for research into the treatment, prevention and cure for multiple sclerosis — a chronic disease which her daughter, Jacqui Howlett was recently diagnosed with.
Ms Allan has not only completed the challenge, but she has done it with an additional ten kilometres behind her — walking a total of 60 kms in 31 days.
She has also met her fundraising goal by double the intended amount, collecting over $600.
“I’m happy with what I’ve achieved and I’m grateful to the Maryborough community for helping me get there,” Ms Allan said.
