On Saturday 21st May, 2022, Gede Foundation joined Gordon Barett and several individuals for a 5KM walk for Mental Health titled, “Inner Peace is Priority.”
The walk was very exciting and informative. One of the benefits that people got from the walk is not only the physical workout but also a mental workout. Before the walk commenced, Gordon Barett ensured that all participants had their blood pressure and sugar levels checked. There was also a trainer available to ensure that all participants stretched before and after the walk. They also provided security, road safety and exciting music to listen to while participants walked.
The walk commenced and ended at City Park in Wuse 2, Abuja. Gede’s ‘Champions’ took this opportunity to talk to people about their experiences with mental health and how important inner peace is. The reception was very positive and some people even joined in to follow up and continue conversations.
