WALK-A-THON

Walkathon is an annual feature organised by Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled on a specific theme to commemorate the World Disability Day. It is a public event organised to mainly involve people across the country and spread awareness on a common cause. Walkathon is perceived as an event made to create awareness and more importantly call for concerted action.

The 13th walkathon is initiated to bring about a green change in people and their practices. With the theme, ‘Green Vision Clear Mission’ the 13th walkathon will be organized on 9th December 2017 at Kittur Rani Chennamma Stadium, Jayanagar 3rd Block, Bengaluru.

Witnessing the surge in population every passing year, one of our concerns is the amount of green house gases that we collectively emit through vehicular and industrial pollution, building of concrete structures and falling of essential trees causing Ozone depletion and warmer climates around the globe. The changing climate pattern is affecting our bio diversity and natural ecosystem. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the ground we walk on, the nature that we so endearingly watch all are being lost, least realizing that our economy depends on this.
