Welcome to walking group M&M WiWALK by Winny De Prycker

Winny De Prycker

Who is the walking coach?

Winny De Prycker (62) decided to become a Pink Ribbon walking coach in 2022. After going through a tough journey as a cancer patient herself, she wanted to get back into active exercise. "This was not obvious, so I wanted to do this in a group. This way I can also support others from my own experience," says the coach.

In three words, Winny would describe herself as creative, warm-hearted and passionate. The best compliment she ever received was "You are an inspiration."

How often do we go hiking?

Once a week Winny plans a walk of about 5 kilometers, meeting on Saturday at the culture house in Merelbeke at 10 am. In addition, once a month they walk 12 to 15 kilometers, this continues on Sundays.

What region are we hiking in?

M&M WiWALK hikes in East Flanders, mainly in the region of Genten Merelbeke, but also in the Flemish Ardennes.
