Combatting diseases is an MDG and so, it is imperative that we stay fit. ?A healthy mind resides in a healthy body.?
This quote inspired us, Green Hope UAE members, to take part in Du?s Every Step Counts walkathon on 23rd July which was held at Dubai Mall. We participated in this walk to show our solidarity with the cause of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and staying fit. This walk was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Majid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Chairman of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority.
The walk was inside the mall and it was amazing to see many participants of different age groups who walked the entire distance. We enjoyed a lot as we were able to understand the importance of staying fit and interacted with other like-minded people. We were given a kit which consisted of a cap, a wristband and a scarf to show solidarity. Almost all of us carried a placard in our hand, each stating a different reason on why we should keep ourselves fit and healthy. We were also interviewed by many TV channels where we voiced our opinion why the walk was such an important step for the wellness of people.
It was a wonderful experience for all of us and we are sure that initiatives like this will definitely, help to make people maintain a healthy life. We can start by doing our bit and taking part in awareness campaigns like this so that we can spread awareness in our community. We must remember that ?Health is Wealth?.
