Walking for Health
By Brian Malasi
Scores of people across all ages turned up for an inaugural walk organized by the Machakos We Walk initiative.
In what is considered a first of many more activities lined up for the year, the initiative brought together participants from across Machakos Town to participate in a walk aimed at bringing awareness on the importance of keeping fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Speaking exclusively to The Anchor, Ben Ibrahim, one of the organizers, said the walk was not only intended to raise awareness on healthy living but also create a platform for people to engage, network and socialize in an environment devoid of drugs and substance abuse.
In addition, Ibrahim also revealed plans to incorporate activities like Zumba classes during the Saturday walk sessions, all this intended to rope in more participants.
The 1st edition walk featuring over 75 participants kicked off at the Kenyatta Stadium through to Mumbuni area and culminated at the Machakos ASK Show ground via Manza and Miwani areas.
The initiative targets to host the walks every saturday and invites all willing to attend to register via the initiative's email address machakoswewalk@gmail.com
