‘I read about this challenge’

‘I lost my partner in December 2019. Since then, I’ve slowly been trying to find my way into my new life. Who am I? Where am I going? I struggled to get out. Work, tiredness, emotions, grief, life in general, oh and now I’m peri-menopausal.

‘Then I saw this walking magazine with a story about #walk1000miles... In my head, I thought ‘I’ll never do that. But I’ll give it a go – even if I fail, I’ll have done more than usual’.

‘This is my first year of the challenge and I bloody love it! I’m actually less tired than before. My grief and menopause brain are so much easier to manage. I love being in the open air, just living in that moment, opening my eyes and seeing.’ Andrea Barber
