WDD walk in NYC following in Mahatma Gandhi’s footsteps
On October 2, the Arise India Foundation is organising a unique public health initiative where New Yorkers will follow in the footsteps of the renowned Indian peace icon Mahatma Gandhi.
The Mahatma Gandhi Health and Peace Walk aims to inspire people to follow his example and walk everyday to enhance their wellness, reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
While Mahatma Gandhi is universally admired for his belief and practice of non-violence, few know that Mahatma Gandhi had a habit of walking to maintain his health. For example, his autobiography - My experiments with truth - records his liking for long walks as a student and how, while studying law in London, he had rented a room at a location from where he could walk to his office and get his daily exercise.
Bearing the slogan "In His Footsteps, For Your Health," the walk will take place in New York City’s Marcus Garvey park between 11am and 12 noon on Saturday, October 2. Further information.
