The Walking Women has been created from a love of walking and talking born from the pandemic. Throughout 2020 and into 2021, we have taken great comfort from going out and walking in our local area. It has been one of the only constants throughout the pandemic and has allowed us to create a routine. Walking and talking with family (over the phone,) or friends in person has allowed us to more openly discuss the problems our own bodies are presenting us with.

The Walking Women has the aim of increasing awareness of female health conditions, taking away the taboo from speaking about your symptoms and to raise money to support the valuable research being undertaken by Wellbeing of Women.

We are organising events to help fundraise and raise awareness. In 2021 we organised a walking weekend, walking over 1100 miles between us and raising nearly £5000 but we want to do more and raise more. This year we have new events such as Manchester 10km, another walking weekend and more to come.
