The Family Development Foundation’s Walkathon Reaches New Heights

The second edition of the Our Mothers Challenge Walkathon, initiated by the Family Development Foundation, has concluded with participants collectively covering more than nine million steps. The achievement reflects the growing momentum of an initiative designed to encourage active living and improved wellbeing among female senior citizens across the Emirates.

The walkathon underscores a broader commitment to supporting healthier and more purposeful daily routines amongst older women, whilst fostering community engagement and social connection. By combining physical activity with collective participation, the initiative creates a meaningful framework through which senior women can enhance their quality of life whilst contributing to a shared sense of purpose and mutual encouragement.

The success of the second edition demonstrates the resonance of the programme within communities across Abu Dhabi, with participation expanding to encompass a wider circle of participants dedicated to the cause. The Family Development Foundation’s vision extends beyond the numbers themselves; the walkathon serves as a vehicle for celebrating the vitality and continued engagement of senior women in active community life.
