Move Mates’s story
Following a request made by one of our Supported Walkers on the Move Mates Project, a team of supported walkers, volunteers and staff from Move the Masses will be walking The Yorkshire Marathon.
Move Mates (run by Move the Masses) Is A Walking Buddy Project Which Makes Getting Out For A Walk A Reality For People Who Would Otherwise Find It Difficult To Leave Their Homes. Our Volunteers Give People The Confidence And Moral Support To Leave Their Homes And Go For A Walk, Improving Their Physical Health, Reducing Isolation And Ultimately Making People Feel Happier!
Walking the marathon distance will be a huge challenge to many of those taking part. We are holding practice walks every month in the run up to the marathon. We aim to raise funds and awareness of the fantastic and popular Move Mates project. We hope to show that with motivation and the right support people are able to accomplish great things - be it that first step out of their front door or walking a marathon!
