Volunteer Spotlight!! 💙💛
When Andrea first joined Let’s Walk, she thought she was signing up to make a difference in someone else’s life. What she didn’t expect was just how much the experience would change hers.
Since being paired with Jackie in April 2024, the two have completed 250+ walks together, building a friendship filled with laughter, stories, and unwavering support.
“When I began, I thought my Let’s Walk volunteering time would only benefit my walking partner, but I’ve benefited just as much—if not more. Jackie and I started walking in April 2024 and have developed a wonderful relationship. We really enjoy our time together! I work from home, so I especially appreciate the social interaction. Jackie and I both love to laugh, and she’s a great story teller. With over 250 walks, I’ve had the opportunity to hear some really fun stories. During one of our walks, Jackie’s neighbor stopped us to give us kudos for our commitment and asked how we came to be walking partners. We were glad to tell her all about Let’s Walk!” – Andrea
For Jackie, joining Let’s Walk meant finding the confidence to walk again after the pandemic.
“Andrea and I have become ‘besties.’ She keeps me accountable, and even on mornings when I’d rather stay in bed, I know she’ll be at my house ready to walk! I really love the Let’s Walk program and encourage other seniors who don’t like walking alone to join. The program not only provides physical activity but also develops long-lasting friendships.” – Jackie
Andrea, thank you for your kindness, consistency, and the joy you bring to every walk. 💙 And Jackie, thank you for reminding us that the best journeys are the ones we take together.
