Walk with a Doc – May 20

May 20, 2023 @ 9:00 am 10:00 am

This doctor-led group is a fun and safe place to hear briefly about an important health topic and enjoy a walk outside with a physician each month.

Join Dr. Schumacher on Saturday, May 20, as we learn about our connection to Safekids and host a BIKE HELMET GIVEAWAT. Participants should meet at the east side of Lee Arena at Washburn University and kids are invited to bring their bikes.

The walk is open to the community. Participation is free and pre-registration is not required.

According to the American Heart Association, walking as little as 30 minutes a day can provide the following benefits:

Improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels

Help maintain a healthy body weight and lower the risk of obesity

Enhance mental well-being

Reduce the risk of osteoporosis 

Walk with a Doc (WWAD) is an international non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire communities through movement and conversation. Topeka joins a growing list of communities worldwide that have started local Walk with a Doc programs. Learn more at www.walkwithadoc.org.
