Six-year-old girl raises £1,200 for Coeliac Awareness Week
A six-year-old girl has raised £1,200 for Coeliac UK.
Ellie Hynds, from Muirhead, on the outskirts of Dundee, was diagnosed with Coeliac disease the same day she started primary school, at just four-years-old.
When it came to fundraising for the charity, as part of Coeliac Awareness Week, Ellie knew she wanted to take part.
Ellie had originally planned to fundraise last year, but Covid-19 struck and plans were put on hold.
This year, she decided to walk 5k across the Tay Bridge to raise money and awareness of Coeliac disease, with help from her Granddad Jim.
