Organisation Girls United set out to travel 10,000+ miles in order to both fundraise and spread awareness of the FWWC2023. The exact distance of 10,262 miles is exactly how far it is from their homeground in Peckham Rye to Brisbane. They invited the girls' united community to embark on this journey whether that be a walk, a run, a swim or even a skip. For every mile completed, a £1 donation was asked of. The campaign ran the month before the lionesses first game and girls united officially hit their goal of 10,262 miles and thus £10,262 was raised.
An integral part of the campaign are the girls united community who were invited to show what their stance was on the women’s game. Girls United themselves put out their own stances.
