To all of you who will Nordic Walk the Big Half for Silverfit on 4 March 2018:
My hat is well and truly off for you. So many of you have been training tirelessly over the past months.

In rain or shine, you have been building up your distances, strength, technique, and endurance. I have been watching you with admiration. How you overcame aches and pains, and have learned to work with and around the obstacles your bodies have thrown up for you.

It has been wonderful to see how you have made some wonderful friendships along the way, have seen parts of London you never knew existed, and have learned that you can (still) do so much more than you ever thought possible.
Even before the Big event, I want to thank you for your hard work, and for not giving up. I want to thank you for engaging your friends, acquaintances, colleagues and family to raise money for the wonderful organisation that Silverfit is.

Over the past 5 years, Silverfit has been helping so many of us to create new friendships, to get fitter and healthier, to try out new ways of moving and showed us that each of us can find some kind of exercise we enjoy doing, even if we always thought we hated exercise. (or that the movement we enjoyed didn’t ‘count’ as exercise).

With your efforts over the past weeks and months, and your participation of the Big Half tomorrow, you are making an enormous contribution to help Silverfit to keep going, to introduce more people over 50 to the joys of movement, and to help more people over 50 to stay Fit and Healthy, both physically and mentally. For that I salute you.
