Welcome to walking group M&M WiWALK by 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, appointment on Saturdays between 10 a.m. and noon. They also walk 15 kilometers once a month, this also continues on Saturdays.
What region are we hiking in?
M&M WiWALK walks in East Flanders, especially in the region of Ghent.
