Heartbeat Walks commenced some 6 years ago with the strong support of Julie Jules, Caroline Barnes, Cris Yates, Joanie, and Kevin Tolhurst.

We started for the exercise, but quickly learnt that social support is a key factor in folks sticking with an exercise program.

We immediately noticed that our small walking group provided the motivation needed to stay active.

Ross, Deb, Arthur, and several others have now completed 600 walks and are fast heading towards completing 700 walks.
