Introducing Pumi & the Walking Group

by Little BIG

It is our utmost pleasure to introduce to you a brand new addition to our team – a volunteer with a love of community and bucket list to complete. Pumi responded to our call out for a volunteer to lead a walking group. It was already on her goals list this year to be more active and felt serendipitous to meet her.

What is the Little BIG Walking Group?

It’s a group of like-minded individuals, each with a pair of sturdy shoes and an eagerness to explore the area, setting off on foot to keep active and connected. It’s an invitation to leave the stresses of everyday life behind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the company of fellow walkers. It’s also a set time and place to help keep US ALL accountable.

But it’s not just about the physical benefits of walking; our group offers so much more. As we exercise along the Grennway, we will engage in conversation, share stories, and forge meaningful connections.
