Discovering FreeWalkers

By Ilene Siver:

FreeWalkers has been a God send to me. Back in 2011 my friend Nancy Jonap introduced me to Paul Kizcek, founder of FreeWalkers, while we were starting a walk around Manhattan. Paul was there handing out flyers for his new grassroots walking group. I never knew long distance walking was a thing or sport. The farthest I walked before meeting Nancy and Paul was 7 miles. I gained family with FreeWalkers. So many wonderful peeps I call family and close friends now. Believe in yourself and you can walk farther than you ever imagined—with the right shoes that is!
