Finding a Buddy

Posted on September 22, 2009 at 09:06 AM

Many moons ago when Paula (the other WonderWalker) and I conceived this idea about a one stop shop for women and walking our primary goal was to provide information and support to encourage women to enjoy being active.
We wanted women to believe that walking is a validated form of exercise not something you do because you can't run.
Our Forums have been proof that sharing your challenges of staying on the wagon whether it be trying to lose weight or keep the exercise regime going can be very motivating.Generally we are all in the same boat,finding the time,the energy and having the will power.
WonderWalkers wants to connect women, help them find a buddy or a group to walk with.I think we all know that surrounding ourselves with positive people wanting to do the same thing spurs us on when our enthusiasm starts to wane.
WonderWalkers is in terms of the web world pretty tiny and sadly we don't have truckloads of dosh to spend on marketing so we need help to spread the word so that when someone posts a comment looking for a walking buddy we can increase their chances of finding someone.
Or better still find ways that we can have regional WonderWalkers groups supporting each other.
We are working on that model so if anyone is keen to start up a group and has some ideas or needs help please e mail us at info@jwondekrwalk2ers.cjo.nzs.
With daylight saving upon us there is no better time to start.
As an aside here is a pic of my brand new great nephew Jack Devoy..reminds me just how gorgeous babies are not that i am in any hurry to be a grandmother.
Happy Walking
