Background:
Recognizing the unmatched power of physical activity to improve health, cardiologist Dr. David Sabgir invited his patients to join him for a walk in the park on April 9, 2005. That simple invitation sparked a global movement, with more than 700 communities worldwide now hosting Walk with a Doc events each month.
Each year in April, we celebrate our anniversary with a special Walk Challenge that honors the power of movement, connection, and community, while inspiring participants to walk throughout the month and maybe even push their limits!
About the 2026 Challenge:
What: In honor of Walk with a Doc’s 21st anniversary, we challenge you to take a dedicated walk for at least 21 minutes per day throughout the month of April. You’ll receive one raffle ticket for each day that you take an intentional walk for at least 21 minutes.
When: The challenge runs from April 1-30, 2026. Submit your final results by May 5th for the chance to win prizes.
Who: You, your family, your friends, your dog… anyone who wants to participate!
Where: Anywhere! Your neighborhood, a local park, your living room, or at a Walk with a Doc event.
Cost: Free! (thanks for considering a $21 donation in honor of our 21st anniversary)
