Celebrities including, Kaffy, DJ Cuppy, Bimbo Akintola, Nathaniel Bassey, Daniel Amokachi, DJ Xclusive, Peter Rufai, and Mary Onyali, among others, will on Saturday, join the organisers of Arise Women in a walk to mark its 12th edition annual fitness walk tagged ‘Walk For Life’.
According to the founder of the group, Dr. Siju Iluyomade, this year’s theme: ‘Staying Alive’ is timely because many people are dying of common health problems due to lack of physical exercise and regular health checks.
Against this backdrop, the Arise Women would embark on a walk for life to inspire hope in many people and encourage participants and survivors to stay alive despite the battle against COVID-19 and all that the pandemic has brought with it.

Iluyomade said: “We are encouraging people to rise above the setbacks and disappointments of the current times, to push forward and achieve their dreams. We want to use the walk to inspire hope in many whilst encouraging participants and survivors alike to Stay Alive. Walking does so many things to the body.
“Africa recorded less COVID-19 casualty not because God is with us alone, but we do the things that are necessary, we walk a lot. African woman walk 10 to 15 kilometer per day. By walking, they are strengthening their heart, reducing their blood sugar and mental health capacity is increased, while burning calories.”
