‘Thanks to panic and anxiety I find life very difficult’

'#walk1000 miles has dramatically changed my life'

From struggling to get out the front door to preparing to tackle long distance paths – 64-year-old Mo Grady is a different person.

‘This challenge has given me such confidence in myself. My wellbeing has improved and I’ve met new friends. I’m happy to say I’ve met my target; in fact, I’ve gone way past it. I feel ready to tackle some long distance footpaths next year – 12 months ago, this was only a dream. To anyone thinking about starting next year’s challenge, go for it at your own pace and enjoy every moment!’
