Walking Is The Best Medicine!

« Walking Is The Best Medicine » is doing!  And especially for this fundraising between October 2020 and April 2021.

It is with proud, passion, enthousiasm and excitement that I, Mark Verdonschot, go for a walk of 3000km on the TA Trail in New Zealand to raise money to start a foundation.  I want to build a platform that supports people with emotional problems, depressions and addictions and help them to change their lives.  I also struggled with these things quiet some time in my life.  Knowing and feeling what their struggles, emotions and needs are, gives me that advantage in understanding and making a difference. Together with my 16years of working-experience in healthcare, my total life (almost 38 years) experience and all my walking experiences, it is now time to help other people.  And the point where I am today, on a worldtrip (but due to covid-19 stucked in one country), developing this initiative shows that my own medicine works and that is Walking!  Synthetic medication, drugs, alcohol and depressive thoughts don’t do the job!

Walking in nature, coaching and going on a trip away from the things, patterns and negative thougts that don’t help, give people the kickstart, motivation, healthy patterns and positive mindset they need.  That is what WITBM (Walking Is The Best Medicine) provides.

« I want to be the bridge between thinking and doing for people who need it but don’t know how to make that first step » With the money we can be that bridge and give them a real opportunity to make a change. This 15000 euro (that is for ex. 5euro/km or almost 10NZD/km) represents for example

- 100 individual walking/coaching sessions, or
- 333 groupwalks in a natural and helping environment, or
- 20 kickstart-retraites providing healthy food, accommodation and walking/coaching sessions for one person for a week, or
- a combination of all of the above

Support this initiative and me walking this trail and be the change you want to see in the world!  Thank you for listening and your donation!
