THE GREAT WALK - UNILEVER MARATHON WALK FOR LOORG

12/6/2019

On 3rd July, Unilever employees will embark on a Marathon walk from Greenwich boat club to Richmond Rugby club in memory of their dear colleague Renee Metroka.

Renee was an inspiration for so many across Unilever, with her never give up attitude and positive outlook on life. She originally battled with rare ocular cancer in 2014 which unfortunately spread to her Liver and she sadly lost her fight through complications in January 2018.

Unilever are raising funds for LOORG a charity close to Renee’s heart helping to fund much needed research into Ocular cancer and how to treat it. Rare cancers like these are often overlooked when trying to raise funds. www.justgiving.com/companyteams/thegreatwalk2019
