Default Anyone on here doing a waLk for GREATSTRIDES

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

Thumbs up

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!
