One walk. One hill. And everything changed!
In the final episode of Series 5 of the ‘Make Movement Matter’ podcast, Mick Cope shares the simple, but life-altering moment he decided to walk up a small hill near his home. It was hard, really hard, but it sparked something.
What began as one difficult walk became a habit, then a passion and eventually, a calling – to the Camino de Santiago, where he’s now walked thousands of kilometres and inspired dozens to do the same.
If you’ve ever wondered how to begin, or doubted that small steps could lead to big change – this story will convince you otherwise.
