John and Irene have shown age is no barrier to getting involved with the Virtual Kiltwalk.
John, aged 89, and Irene, aged 81, donned their tartans and completed laps of Braeside House care home recently.
Both John and Irene live with visual impairment. John has macular degeneration and Irene has glaucoma. The pair were supported by our amazing staff, who kept them both on track on their individual walks and cheered them along too.
Well done John and Irene, and thank you for taking part!
