Willenhall, West Midlands – On
Saturday 28th June, two local men,
Tal Singh and Trevor Latham, will celebrate a major milestone,
five years of sobriety, by leading a
symbolic wellbeing walk from Willenhall to Wolverhampton along the canal, in a powerful effort to promote mental and physical health.
What they call their
"Walk of Freedom" and
"Victory Lap" is more than just a physical journey. It’s a message of hope, healing, and second chances. Tal and Trevor, who both began their recovery journey five years ago, are now using their experiences to inspire others in the community.
“Five years ago, we were at our lowest points,” says Tal Singh. “But we made a choice, to fight for our lives, our health, and our future. Today, we’re not just sober, we’re thriving. This walk is a celebration of that, and an invitation to anyone who needs to know that change is possible.”
The walk begins at
12:30 PM at the Bandstand in Willenhall Memorial Park, before joining the canal and heading toward
Wolverhampton Town Centre. Participants will stop midway for lunch (packed lunches are encouraged) before returning to Willenhall. The round-trip is approximately
10–11 miles and expected to take
4–5 hours.
The event is open to the public. All are welcome, those in recovery, those supporting loved ones, or anyone passionate about promoting mental and physical wellbeing.
This community event aims to shed light on addiction recovery, break stigma, and promote healthier lifestyles, both mentally and physically.
