Let’s Walk connects trained volunteers with clients who can greatly benefit from having someone walk with them.
Lynn McCollum-Lasher, PT developed the service after working as a homecare Physical Therapist for 25 years. After witnessing many re-admissions due to a lack of activity, Lynn was inspired to create a service to encourage people to maintain their mobility. The service is free and available to anyone who qualifies.
Let's Walk is currently available in the greater Charleston, SC area. Please contact us if you are interested in having this program offered near you.
