The Purpose

The purpose of this walk is to encourage exercise and promote a healthy lifestyle. We want you to feel comfortable asking a healthcare provider any questions or sharing any concerns about your health. Our goal is also to teach you how to be an advocate for your well-being by adopting simple, healthy habits that can extend your life. During the walk, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with both a cardiologist and a podiatrist.
