About The Walk
Our inaugural Walk For Health will be held simultaneously in major towns across the nation on Sunday, 28 October 2012. Participated by all our eight NASAM Centres across Malaysia and in a spirit of togetherness, we celebrate and honour stroke survivors, caregivers and their families on World Stroke Day.
NASAM is targeting 1,500 participants – stroke survivors, caregivers, friends and supporters of NASAM, and the public – for the Walk For Health event that will also include health check booths, information counters, and health-related activities.
“It is our solidarity march to disseminate vital life-saving information and knowledge about actions and lifestyle behaviours that can effectively avert attacks of stroke. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in most countries, and one of the leading causes of long-term disability. We urge the public to participate in this event and learn the facts about stroke,” emphasises Janet Yeo, Founder Chairman of NASAM.
