Did you spot Strider in Blackpool today? 👣 He had a brilliant time walking with Living Streets staff and pupils from local schools to celebrate #NationalWalkingMonth!
On Tuesday 13th May, I will be joined by my NW colleagues at Living Streets as we do a 10km sponsored walk dressed as Strider (a huge orange foot) between the piers of Blackpool, raising funds for road safety and safer streets. Please sponsor if you can. https://t.co/7cernLlKE1
