Project Description

Three times a day, every day, after each meal...that's how much Pop walked. Pop walked outside, he walked inside when it rained, he walked up hills, in the garden, and in the hospital during stays. His motivation to keep walking regardless of his health circumstances, is what inspired the creation of this company.

Humans are social creatures and those with little to no socialization are likely to die earlier than their social counterparts. Our solution is to engage older adults physically and emotionally while bringing ease/peace to those caring for them. 

Your loved one may be too far from you or you may be too busy or too tired for full-time care. Dedicated to helping older adults be active and feel connected, Walk with Pop provides a convenient, safe, and tracked channel of support to get your loved one out for a brisk walk with a new friend, so you can carry on. Older adults are paired with vetted, and trained companions to walk and socialize together in the comfort of their neighborhood all within one app. Conveniently book a walk with the click of a button.

We are not limited to only those who can walk; we are inclusive of older adults with limited mobility as well (e.g., wheelchair) because the same health benefactors (e.g. social fulfillment, wellbeing) apply regardless of ability. 

With your support, you assist us in getting more adults outside and connected with their humanity again! We are sincerely grateful for your generous contributions!
