Reasons to Walk

One small, innovative idea can be a meaningful part of a larger solution. Walktopia’s one idea is WalkKids—training for walk buddies. Becoming a walk buddy means commitment to walking for yourself –and- walking to help someone else...at-risk kids. As we refine this idea, we look to childhood obesity prevention/intervention research, volunteer and walking program 'best practices' as well as successfully operating initiatives. Our goal is to provide a high quality, low-cost, short-term, high-impact experience for buddies and kids.
