The New York Times, The Opinion Pages – “Walking Together for Health and Spirit” – By David Bornstein – April 5, 2016
I’m hopeful when I’m walking. I’m courageous when I’m walking. I’m powerful when I’m walking. I’m connected to my community when I’m walking. I’m energized when I’m walking. I’m moving toward freedom when I’m walking. I’m fully me when I’m walking.
That’s what GirlTrek’s members do: they walk. Together. They emphasize the rewards of taking time for themselves, getting outside and connecting with others in a nonjudgmental and noncompetitive environment.
In Walking Together for Health and Spirit, NYT Opinion piece, David Bornstein explores the incredible impact that GirlTrek has had on the community of African American woman throughout this country …a community of women and girls who walk daily together toward better health and improved lives.
