‘Take their<br />
curiosity<br />
for a<br />
wander’<br />
My fitness levels have<br />
increased, I don’t get out<br />
of breath after a flight of stairs now, I feel<br />
generally more motivated and I do more outdoor<br />
activities with my children. When I started I wasn’t<br />
sure it was actually achievable, now I’m hoping the<br />
increased activity my children have seen in me this<br />
year will inspire them to be more active, and to<br />
gain a love of going for a mooch, just because<br />
they can. To take their natural curiosity literally<br />
for wander, and investigate their surroundings<br />
– knowing that no matter how familiar they are,<br />
there’s always something new to see or<br />
experience, is just the best.<br />

‘We had a medal ceremony’<br />
I’ve realised how far I walk when I go to and<br />
from school and I’ve enjoyed walking more.<br />
When I’d done it we had a medal ceremony<br />
just like at the Olympics! It was amazing!<br />
I wish I’d known how really proud of<br />
yourself you feel when you’re finished.<br />
I enjoy walking more because I know that<br />
I’m counting how many miles I can walk in a<br />
year. And I’ll never forget doing the Fairfield<br />
Horseshoe when we were on holiday!<br />

‘A bit of a miracle’<br />
For the last four years my daughter Faith has been<br />
bullied at school about her weight, which is now<br />
coming off as she partakes in many travels with me.<br />
The bullying made her a little reclusive, then to add<br />
injury to insult, she was knocked down by someone<br />
texting and driving. This accident caused her<br />
many weeks of recovery laid up at home nursing<br />
countless cuts, bruises and scrapes, but the mental<br />
impact was worse. Until I started this, Faith didn’t<br />
want to step a foot outside but now she’s eager<br />
to join me on every walk she can. It’s really helped<br />
her turn a massive corner. Thanks a million –<br />
