We’re a group of friends who first met through exercise classes, but over time we became much more than that.

When my mum suddenly passed away, I couldn’t face going back to classes. Instead, a few of us started meeting for short walks—nothing big, just a way to get out, talk, and support each other. Over a year later, those small walks have turned into regular long walks we all look forward to. We walk, we talk, and usually find somewhere nice to stop for food along the way.

Out of the 7 of us, 3 have lost our mums to COPD. That’s why we’ve chosen to support Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland. This cause is deeply personal to us, and we want to help raise awareness and support others affected.

Walking has been a lifeline—bringing comfort, friendship, and even moments of joy during some of the hardest times. We’re so grateful to have each other, and now we want to give something back.

Thank you for your support 💛
