We are so proud of our Instructors and how tirelessley they go out and lead inspirational sessions for people across the UK and we are also grateful for the publicity many of them get because it spreads the word about how great Nordic Walking is

Occasionally though, the stories are really inspirational so we thought we would share these with two you

MARK RICHARDSON – made redundant and struggled to find work so became an Instructor with NWUK

Mark hit the headlines because he failed to give in to being jobless and cycled around the UK with his CV on his T shirt. Now he is using that tenacity and his love of fitness and being outdoors in a really positive way. He re trained as an NWUK Instructor which is a vocational qualification and enabled him to gain funding from his local jobcentre. He has also become an NWUK delivery partner in order to hit the ground running (or walking at least!) and establish a business that will support his Family. Read his story here
