Good morning!

We’re excited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Walk with a Doc this year.

Since hosting our first walk in Columbus, Ohio, in 2005, Walk with a Doc has grown into a global movement spanning 641 communities in 41 countries and 50 medical schools! All around the world, volunteer physicians gather with community members to share important health education, build friendships, and enjoy the healing power of movement. 

Together, we’ve built something extraordinary, a community grounded in compassion and connection. Every week, we hear stories of how the simple act of walking together has a tremendous impact:

“We’ve done more than organize walks. We’ve cultivated a culture where prevention feels personal, where care is collective, and where movement is not a chore but a celebration… Walking side by side toward a healthier future.” ~Dr. Munira Abbasi, Volunteer Walk Leader

As you join us in celebrating our 20th anniversary, please consider making a gift of $20 (or more). Your generosity – whether it’s $20, $100, or whatever feels right – keeps our walks free, accessible for everyone, and propels the movement forward. Together, we’re empowering millions to take that first step toward better health.

All donations are tax-deductible. Prefer to send a check? Make it out to “Walk with a Doc” and mail it to: PO Box 286, Riderwood, MD 21139. If you’d like to make a non-cash donation (ie stock), please respond to this email.

Thank you for walking with us as we build a healthier, happier world.

With gratitude,
