DAYTON -- Thousands walked for wellness in Saturday morning, all part of the African American Wellness Walk. The goal of the walk was to promote healthy lifestyle choices and focus on health concerns.
This year, the walk's theme was "Gentlemen's Health: Walking to Win." Booths focusing on men's health and other information were set up along the walk's route. People were able to get information on healthy eating habits and the importance of making smart life choices and physical activity.
"It's about the quality of life, not so much about the quantity of life. And if you live a healthier lifestyle, you eat right and you exercise and teach that to your family and your friends then you can enjoy a better healthy life," said walk organizer, Frankye Herald.
Everyone who participated in the walk was also given a free health screening.
