Did you know?

Walk with a Doc was started in 2005 by Dr. David Sabgir, a cardiologist in Columbus, Ohio, USA. Frustrated with his inability to affect behavior change in the clinical setting, Dr. Sabgir invited his patients to go for a walk with him in a local park on a spring Saturday morning. To his surprise, over 100 people showed up, energized and ready to move. Since that first event in 2005, Walk with a Doc has grown as a grassroots effort with a model based on sustainability and simplicity. A doctor gives a brief presentation on a health topic and then leads participants on a walk at their own pace.  In 2009, WWAD became an official 501(c)(3). f Walk with a Doc now extends all around the globe with over 500 chapters worldwide.
