Celebrating Walk 150 at Highbury Grange Medical Practice

Nearly three years ago we started Izzwalkz - the first part of Healthy Minds, Healthy Bods - a weekly walk, focusing on mental health, that would walk every week no matter what. We partnered up with the fantastic Highbury Grange Medical Practice, and launched it in November 2016.
We had no idea if people would come, and if they did we were not sure if people would then come back. As it turns out, we actually have created a fantastic weekly intervention. And today was our 150th walk - every thursday consecutively. We have not missed one. All weathers, holidays, events. Even if Lazza has not been able to attend, he has arranged for a colleague to be there - and we recall just three times HMHB has actually not had a representative and, proudly, the group still walked.
From a personal point of view, I am overwhelmed by the wonderful comments from everyone. It was lovely to have reached walk 150. Sadly, if we do not get funding soon it will stop. This is something we do not want to happen. So keep supporting us.
