From COPD to AOK

‘Diagnosed with COPD before I took up the challenge, but my overall health and fitness has improved dramatically since then. I didn’t think I’d have the stamina or willpower to stick to the challenge, but I did it. And although I live in the middle of an estate on the outskirts of town, I’ve discovered I’m only minutes from quiet, scenic footpaths I never knew existed. Every new footpath I find is an exciting new experience.’ Alvin Denovellis, 67, Carlisle
