When asked “What does Striders mean to you”?, our members said
- An opportunity to meet like minded women when new to the city.
- Chance to become fit and have fun while doing it.
- I can try new activities that I might not have done before.
- There’s lots of laughter and comradery – love it!
- Learning to walk as fast as I can talk.
- It gives me the chance to enjoy walking while enjoying the company of other ladies involved in the same pursuit.
- Striders is the best thing I ever did since I retired!
- Even though I can’t hike like I used to, I can still stay connected with the social activities. I really enjoy the monthly breakfasts.
