Welcome to the Sa Marsj Walking Group! by Michèle Lippus
Who is the walking coach?
Michèle Lippus (57) decided in 2026 to become a walking coach at Pink Ribbon. Having undergone cancer treatment herself, she knows better than anyone that afterward your body feels tired and your energy levels are unpredictable. With her walking group, she wants to help people who have recovered from or are recovering from cancer to exercise at a pace that suits them.
In three words, Michèle would describe herself as resourceful, a nature lover, and resilient.
How often do we go hiking?
Michèle meets up with her group at various times:
- Thursday: every week in the morning
- Wednesday: every other week in the evening (from June through September)
- Sunday: Monthly themed walk
The meeting point and time will be announced via the Sa Marsj! WhatsApp group.
What region are we hiking in?
Sa Marsj! offers walks in the Mechelen region and along the border with Flemish Brabant: Muizen, Bonheiden, and Boortmeerbeek.
