About WALKS

Welcome to WALKS, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the memory of our beloved mother, Princess Evelyn Folasade. Princess Evelyn was a remarkable woman who found solace and joy in the simple act of walking. Her passion for walking was infectious, and it inspired us to create this platform to continue her fight against stroke and promote healthier lifestyles.

 

Princess Evelyn passed away in January, at the age of 73, after battling a stroke for nearly a decade. Throughout her life, she raised six successful children, instilling in us the values of perseverance, love, and the importance of physical and mental well-being.

 

At WALKS, our purpose is to provide a healthy space where knowledge can be shared and exchanged. We firmly believe that walking is not only a physical activity but also a powerful tool for learning and connecting with others. Through the simple act of walking, we aim to create a safe and inclusive environment where individuals of all ages, including adults, kids, and even our furry friends, can come together.

 

Our mission is to empower individuals to take charge of their physical and mental well-being. By offering free walking programs in communities across the United States, we strive to foster a sense of community, inspire a lifelong love for walking, and promote healthier lifestyles. We believe that every step taken brings us closer to a healthier, happier, and more connected society.

 

Join us on this journey towards a brighter future. Together, let's honor Princess Evelyn's memory and transform her passion for walking into a force for positive change. We invite you to explore our website, learn more about WALKS, and discover how you can get involved. Your support, whether through participation, donations, or spreading the word, will make a significant difference in the lives of many.

 

Thank you for joining us in this meaningful endeavor. Let's walk together towards a healthier, happier, and more connected society, one step at a time.
