A CHARITY is on the look out for readers aged between 45 and 60 who want a challenge in 2016 ahead of National Walking Month this May.
Run by Living Streets, the UK charity dedicated to getting people walking, the campaign aims to get people walking for 20 minutes a day in line with NHS recommendations to offset serious health issues including high blood pressure and diabetes and improve happiness and wellbeing.
Living Streets wants to hear from readers aged between 45 and 60-years-old who are looking to challenge themselves in the New Year by walking for 20 minutes each day and tracking their progress.
A spokesman added: "Living Streets will support you through the process and give lots of handy hints and tips on how to bring walking easily into your everyday life.
"The charity are also looking for any readers who have taken up walking in the last year and seen significant benefits from walking more such as weight loss, new friends or new romance, or improvements to mental health and state of mind."
