20th Anniversary of Walk with a Doc
In the Spring of 2005, Dr. David Sabgir decided he’d had enough…
After countless conversations with patients about the importance of exercise, he still hadn’t created any lasting behavior change. One day, he had a crazy idea to start inviting patients to join him for a walk in the park on Saturday morning. To his surprise – they showed up!
That simple idea has spread into a worldwide movement, now hosting ongoing Walk with a Doc programs in nearly 600 communities across 39 countries.
April 9, 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of Walk with a Doc, and we’ve got some fun ways to celebrate all year long!
20 Days of Health Tips
We’ll be posting daily health tips on our social media channels for 20 days leading up to the 20th anniversary (March 21st – April 9th). Follow us on social media and stay tuned for videos featuring Walk Leaders from around the world!
Walk & Win
All year long, we’ll be raffling off prizes to walkers who check-in at Walk with a Doc events with their smartphone. The first drawing will take place on our anniversary (April 9th) and then continue each month throughout the year. Raffle prizes include shoes, WWAD merch, and more!
