Some had personal reasons for choosing their most inspirations…

“Linda Davies was a great support to me when my mum and granny both passed away, and her walks gave me huge comfort.” Katie Walters

“Laura Condon is bloody awesome, overcoming so much to get out walking. Distance doesn’t matter – it’s the achievement of fighting battles others will never know.” Chrissie Kilby

“Margaret Mitchell has become my #walk1000miles penpal and she flew to Finland as a surprise for my 60th!” Lorna Koskela
