1k a Day
Join the pledge online and walk a kilometer every day in September to raise money for Coeliac advocacy and research
Make the Walking Pledge for Coeliac Research
This year we are raising money for research funding on several projects, listed below.
Pledge to walk 1 kilometer every day for the month of September, or pledge to set aside €1 a day for Coeliac research and advocacy. For less than a cup of coffee a day, you can make a massive difference to the quality of knowledge about Coeliac Disease and its financial and social impacts in Ireland.
Whether you complete you 1k walking, running, or cycling, take this exciting opportunity to raise funds, and share your progress using #1kaDay4CD on social media!
If you are interested in setting up a local walking group for the duration of the challenge, please contact us at info@coeliac.ie for further details.
