Merilyn Simonds and Beth Robinson are two friends from Kingston, Ontario, who decided during the Covid pandemic to make it a priority to get together, once a week, for a walk. 

Since then they've faced the challenges of aging, and discovered the joys of deep connections. The Current producer Alison Masemann spent an afternoon with them, and found out about Beth's passion for sports cars, and how they handled the role reversal when Merilyn — the younger of the two — became ill.
