HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN FIT ON ONE DUAL CARRIAGEWAY!!!! What a scene, it was incredible, and the buzz was amazing – meeting all the other Walk the Walkers was just great, putting faces to names and meeting Sam and Elisabeth and we were off to our pink pen! A huge cheer went up which we assume was for Mo and the Red Arrows took our breath away…. and we were off! Read all about their experience here!
The support you receive from Walk the Walk is second to none, we're not a walking family for nothing!- Nicci
