Walk92 UK

One man, 92 days, 92 clubs.
A marathon a day for 3 months.
An incredible journey to shine a light on football for good initiatives.

It’s been an odd few months.

On @Walk92uk I made a little list of places I wanted to revisit. Lyndhurst in the New Forest was top of that list - mainly for a stunning sausage roll and an old-world sweet shop. It's great to be back.

Then there’s the subject matter of the first three Power of Sport episodes.
So far: heroin addiction and dealing. A drugs bust that ended with a police officer trapped in a car window. A suicide attempt. Clinical depression. And a 6'8 boxer who’s built a team helping 600 people a week through boxing.

The contrast is pretty stark.
But I'm loving turning the vision from that crazy 2000 mile walk into reality and shining that light on the incredible sport for good work, grounded in proper lived experience.

Do follow the journey. https://t.co/z7NWjwEUL6

The walk was just the beginning.

92 grounds. 92 days. One aim: show what sport can do for good.

That journey sparked Power of Sport - a podcast amplifying the stories of people using sport to change lives.
