2021 African American Wellness Walk: Walk in my Shoes
Premier Health is pleased to announce the African American Wellness Walk (AAWW) is returning for its 21st year this fall.
Due to increasing COVID cases in our community, we have made the decision to offer the virtual option only for the 2021 African American Wellness Walk: Walk in My Shoes (AAWW). While this is a necessary change, our excitement about this event continues to grow! We are extending the walk period for an additional two weeks, from Aug. 20 to Sep. 25. This will provide participants more time to log miles as we focus on healthy living as a lifestyle and a commitment to wellness. The event will conclude with a post-event virtual experience on Saturday, Sep 25, beginning at 1 p.m.
Here in week two of the walk, it is clear we are all going strong and logging thousands of steps for a great cause. One of the best aspects of the AAWW is the fellowship and excitement our participants share. While you are walking, we’d like you to help us capture and share the great energy we are hearing about. Here’s how you can share:
- Take a video as you log steps and miles, especially if you’re walking with friends, loved ones, or coworkers
- Show us where and when you’re walking
- Take a couple seconds to explain why you’re walking and what the AAWW means to you
- If you’re participating in a challenge, let us know about that as well
You can upload your video here. Please keep the video to no more than 30 seconds, and hold your camera horizontally while filming, if possible. Files larger than 150MB will not be able to be uploaded. Videos containing foul language, offensive images, or political references will not be accepted. Keep an eye out at our post-race virtual experience, as your submission may be featured in our video mosaic recap of the 2021 AAWW.
Additionally, one video each week through Sept. 25 will be randomly selected to win a $50 Visa gift card! Sign up for the walk and post your video today and became automatically entered in the drawing for the gift card.
Thank you for your support!
