I walk because it is important to me that everyone has the right to healthy food. Food brings families and friends together, builds and brings back memories, celebrates and ultimately nourishes our mind and bodies. This should be something that everyone can be a part of, food is the most basic of all human needs and there is no reason that any one person should not have access to healthy food. Walking is both a personal and public way to take a stand against food insecurity. I walk because I feel empathy for those who are food insecure, because I want to do what I can to perpetuate change and make everyone aware of the very real and local issue of food insecurity.
