Who are we?
We are a social company formed by a group of professionals in different fields that bring joy and daily effort to our business WOP
Where it all began
In the summer of 2008 Jontxu, a 6 year old boy, tripped during a hike through the mountains. That was the first showing of a then diagnosed terrible neurodegenerative disease that was notified to his parents Mikel and Mentxu the 13th of october of that same year.
And there it began, the fight of this family against these harsh and unknown neurodegenerative diseases. Time went by and MIkel started composing music to cope with that new reality. In between songs he wrote “Walk on” as a promise to his son. From this song and this promise, The Walk on Project was born as a facet of this family which then turned into a reference social company.
