I am looking for some buddies to help support me to lose weight and get in shape so I can do a 6 mile walk for GREATSTRIDES to earn money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

This is very important to me I have three nephews that have Cystic Fibrosis that I will be walking for. I have never done one before and am excited. Im open to any advice you can give me so that way I can make it threw the whole 6 miles, also if there is anyone on here that has done one of these could you tell me about it. Thanks in advance for all your help

I've never done a walk like that, but I used to do 3 mile walk a day for about 6 months. I built up to it by going as far as I felt like I could make it back to the house (choose REALLY comfortable shoes with good arch supports). Before I knew it, I was walking 3 miles easily within an hour & 1/2 & less eventually as I started 'power walking'.
I'm sure that you already have what it takes to get you through the whole 6 miles - dedication and love for your nephews! Good Luck!

Hi good to see another CF walker. I do it every year along with other charity walks, I have a 5k this Sat.

Just get out anwalk, and do worry about how long it takes it is for a great cause!
