Walk 1K a Day in May

My Activity Tracking

125
kms

My target 31 kms

🌟 Thanks for your support! 🌟

I’m walking 1 km a day this May. 👟

Not for fitness. 🏋🏻‍♀️
Not for the glory. 🥇

Mainly because I’m officially at the age where this counts as a workout. 😁

Here’s the play:

You donate (thank you 🙏)
• I walk 1 km a day in May
• My knees complain loudly
• Everybody wins

It’s for Heart & Stroke—which is important… but you’re also supporting a seasoned athlete in his “light cardio era.”

So… join me? 🙌

Loonies, toonies, or “I found this in my couch” money—it all adds up. 💸

Together, we’ll make every step (and every heartbeat) count. 💪❤️

Thanks in advance for your support,


Doug

Day 5 - 4.75 km of Pickle Ball

Wednesday 6th May
Day 5 update 👟🐕
The day started early for me, which was at 9am, with 2 hours of pickleball (apparently that counts 😁) and finished with 4.75 km in between the lines and the kitchen. 
My team captain Tilly lead the way in the early afternoon, dragging me for another 2 km around the block.
Big shoutout to my buddy Chris Thomas for being the first to donate 🙌

Plenty of room for more of you to jump in…hint...hint.

Day 4 - 18 more ⛳️🏌‍♂️

Monday 4th May
Day 4 update: another 18 hole day 👟⛳
Commitment: 1 km
Actual: 14 km… again

At this point, I’m “walking for @heartandstroke while I chase my @titleist down the fairway.

Highlights from the day:
• Didn't loose a ball
• Couldn't hit a green
• Didn't make a putt

Status check:
• Legs: tired after back to back 14km days
• Swing: needed help
• Commitment: still strong for the next 27 days

Good news—you’re getting elite value for your donation now 😁

👉 Donate here: https://give.heartandstroke.ca/s/3964/4063

Still going all month for Heart & Stroke ❤️.

Every step counts… especially the unexpected 13 bonus kilometres.

Who will be the first one to donate? I'll take a looney or looney to get it started. Let's Go!

Thanks,

Doug

Day 3 - 14 km's - 18 holes ⛳️

Monday 4th May
Day 3 update: fun day on the course 👟⛳

18 holes = 14 km

Turns out chasing a small white ball for 4 hours really adds up. Who knew?

Feeling: good at the 19th hole.

Better news—Day 3 is DONE (and then some).
Bad news—you’re definitely getting your money’s worth now 😁

If you’ve been waiting to donate… this feels like a strong ROI day 💸

👉 Donate here: https://give.heartandstroke.ca/s/3964/4063 - link also in the first comment.

See you back here tomorrow, with another update from the golf course and for @heartandstroke ❤️

Bring on those donations. 

Appreciate your support,

Doug

PS - our team captain - 🐶 put in 2km today with her other human. Keeping her commitment intact.

Day 2 - another km in the books

Monday 4th May
Day 2 update: I am still alive. 👟

Another 1 km in the books again today.
Morale: decent
Knees: in great shape
Pace today: somewhere between “casual stroll” and “let's run”. That's what you get on a dog walk.

Here’s the deal (in case you missed it yesterday):
You donate 💸
I keep walking all month - 1km x 31 days🚶‍♂️

We support Heart & Stroke ❤️...
and my chicken legs slowly build muscle.

So now it’s your turn 🙌 to help.

Day 1 is in the books

Monday 4th May
We're off and walking - Day 1 of 31 is complete.

Lots of stops - lots of sniffs 🐕🐶 and a little exercise in our 1 km walk - so we can raise money for @heartandstroke research and programs.

Personally, I’m trying to break a family tradition. Not the good kind.
My Dad. 👨
My Grandfather.👴
His brother. 🧓
All impacted by strokes of varying degrees.

Donate to me at this link (I'll take the change In-between your sofa cushions) 🛋

Tuesday 14th Apr
I'm in team building mode for "The Pace Makers".

We’re raising money for Heart & Stroke with one simple and non-athletic commitment:

👉 Walk 1 km a day in May

That’s it. No training. No pressure. No “I need to get in shape first.”

If you can walk to the fridge… you qualify. 🍔

Turn those daily steps, dog walks, hikes, golf rounds, into real dollars for a great cause.

It's coast to coast, so no matter where you reside our team is for you. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

It's open to everyone, so invite your family and friends. 👋

Welcome to the team,

Doug
