Former Everton Players Promote Exercise and Interaction
Former Everton players Michael Branch and Pat Van Den Hauwe have launched an initiative called Social Striders, which focuses on exercise and interaction. The initiative involves a group of about 20 women and men of all ages participating in a gentle 5km jog every Sunday at 8am. The idea came from Branch's recognition that exercise has helped improve his own mental health and he believed others would benefit similarly.
