Arise Women to hold health-awareness walk ahead of 2021 conference

While exercise seems to be too complex for many people nowadays coupled with the busy schedules, the Arise Women foundation said a 75-minute brisk walk could do a lot to the overall health of anyone, especially if it’s done regularly.

Sponsored by Siju Iluyomade, lawyer of over three decades and founder of Arise Women, Arise Walk is one of the events held yearly as a forerunner to the flagship event, The Arise Women Conference.

This year’s women conference is scheduled for Saturday, 30th October 2021.

The conference promises to be a confluence of inspiration and hope for individuals regardless of religion, tribe or ethnicity as it will be graced by serving and former First Ladies, Wives of federal and State Legislators, Captains of industries, International guests and technocrats who will share from their wealth of experience.

Slated for Saturday 16th October 2021 to be held in Cluster across different parts of the world simultaneously, this year’s Arise Walk is themed ‘I choose life” and it will hold with all adherence to guidelines of Covid-19 prevention protocols.

The inspiration for this year’s health walk was birth from Friedrich Nietzsche’s quote that says “all great thoughts are conceived while walking”.
