Walk This May regional campaign is all about inspiring people to walk or wheel in their everyday lives. It’s about showing what walking or wheeling has to offer. The benefits of walking and wheeling are huge, supporting health & wellbeing as well as the environment.
Walk or wheel your way to a better day!
