An inspiring message to Gary Hicks (Chair) and us all from Duncan Galbraith the founder of World Walking

Dear Gary

There are not many cardiac rehabilitation groups that will be able to say they travelled from the valley of the cardiac ward to the top of the world. What inspiration your group will give others. I am so looking forward to cheering your group all the way to the finish.

When my cardiac rehabilitation exercise group, the Inverclyde Globetrotters, we’re trying to reach the Moon way back in the day, Dr Helen Sharman, Britain’s first astronaut, told us that we should ‘aim high’ and since then I’ve tried to always follow her advice.

Below is an extract from her letter to us dated 3 May 2012.
