Earlier this year, a woman attended one of Dr. Nick Johnstone’s weekly Walk with a Doc events in Lancaster, UK. She was expecting a nice stroll and a bit of health advice. What she didn’t expect was to recognize a childhood friend that she hadn’t seen in over 40 years!

Life took them in different directions, but thanks to this walk, their paths crossed again. They’re now both regular walkers, and reunited friends.

Moments like these remind us that Walk with a Doc is about more than just movement. It’s about connection and friendship.

Who knows, maybe you’ll meet up with an old friend at your next walk! Find a chapter near you at walkwithadoc.org.
