‘I went for a walk around the block’

‘I’d just finished my cognitive behavioural therapy treatment for PTSD. I felt so stressed about my future. I went for a walk round the block, then pushed myself to reach the river. It got me away from my thoughts (and the ducks got food!). Lockdown was tough, but #walk1000miles, the river and the ducks got me through it. My husband and I both now love walking and last October reached the top of Snowdon! It just shows how small steps lead to big things.’ Jenny Riley
