I'm not up to doing the walk myself but have persuaded family members to participate on my behalf.

Also, I'm thinking my former employer and colleagues were very supportive before I left work, and I may (cheekily) contact them and ask them to hold an event.

Some great ideas, thanks for the suggestions.

That's great that your family are doing a walk for you. I hope they have a smashing time! It would be super if you could get your former employer to do something. Let us know if you need anything.
