Charlene's Story...
It was like a sign that maybe I’m gonna be okay after all.
Charlene has been walking with her Move Mates, Lizzie and Bec, since June 2020. When Charlene was first paired with a Move Mate she let us know that she was prone to falls and in fact fell three times on her first walk, but she was determined and sure that walking regularly was the only way to prevent these frequent tumbles.
On their first walk, Lizzie learned that Charlene had been working as a paramedic at York Hospital when she slipped and fell on some ice, sustaining a head injury that changed her life.
We originally spoke to Charlene and Lizzie about their Move Mate walks in July last year and at that time Charlene could only walk short distances as mobility was still a huge issue for her. You can read that blog here.
