Giordano sponsors 3rd edition of 'Walk for your Health'

Walking 3.4kms around the jogging track, participants included serious runners and paced walkers. At the end of the walk, entrants congregated at the amphitheatre inside the park to take part in a "dance exercise" conducted by the Filipino Dance Sports and Social Club.

Medical professionals also attended and demonstrated basic First Aid procedures and conducted free blood pressure checks.

Commenting on the event, Ishwar Chugani, Executive Director Giordano Fashions L.L.C, said:

"It is always encouraging to see so many people enthusiastic and proactive about improving their health and wellbeing. Giordano has always been a keen supporter for the community and welcomes the opportunity to lend a helping hand, especially when it comes to promoting healthy living and exercise."

Organiser, Art Los Banos, said, "Walk for your Health was initiated in 2007 to link Gawad Kalinga with the various Filcom organizations in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. It has become an annual large scale gathering, where Filcom leaders, group members, friends and acquaintances get a chance to walk and exercise together. It is a fun and exciting fellowship activity that promotes better health."


The event was also supported by several Filipino Community (Filcom) groups as partner organizations led by Pinoy Expats Auto Club in Emirates (PEACE) and Scout Royale Brotherhood (SRB).
