We love this story from a Walk with a Doc participant in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia!

“At our recent Walk with a Doc, we were deeply moved by the story of an 85-year-old participant, a father of 5 and grandfather of 10, who showed us what perseverance truly means.

He shared, “On my 1st Walk with a Doc, I could walk only 1/4 of the distance. I stopped walking as my legs were too weak to continue.

Moving on to my 2nd walk, I managed to walk 1/2 of the distance. This showed improvement in my leg strength.

On my 3rd walk, I completed the full distance without overexerting myself. I walked at a pace which I am comfortable with. After the walk, I felt more energetic and more refreshed.”

From walking only a quarter of the distance on his first try, to completing the full route by his third try! His journey is a reminder that it’s never too late to start, improve, and feel stronger.

He said, “I felt more energetic and refreshed after each walk. The friendships, the fellowship, and the guidance from our doctors made all the difference.”

He acknowledged, “Walk with a Doc is for those who wish to improve their personal wellbeing and to be healthier and stronger. To age healthily and have a strong mind and body. It improves the overall strength of your legs and body. It also strengthens your heart and lungs.

On a social note, you will meet many new friends with good fellowship all around. It is indeed our fortune and blessing to have doctors who so generously volunteered to walk with us and also provided medical talks to improve our health.”

This is the heart of Walk with a Doc, creating space for connection, growth, and better health at every age.

Here’s to many more inspiring walks ahead. Join us!”
