Photos From #Walk2014, Abu Dhabi On World's Diabetes Day

1 hour, 09 minutes and 43 seconds.
That was how long it took me to complete the #Walk2014 today in Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi.
For those who are unaware, today Friday, November 2014 is World's Diabetes Day, meaning people all over the world had to Take A Step For Diabetes in order to support the cause.
I happily walked 3.29 miles and burned 358 calories (please bear in mind that the walk was brisk and I also had to stop to take photographs).
While walking this walk, something tragic happened.
My new Nikon camera fell and stopped working (which made me feel like crying), but luckily, I had my 2 phones fully charged, so I had to improvise.
Anyhow, the weather was perfect and the event was spot on.
Over 17,000 people participated in this walk: Men, women, boys, girls, young, old, arabs and non arabs, people from all walks-of-life.
#Walk2014 kicked off at 5 pm with a light warm-up from some gym instructors, then at 10 minutes past 5, the whistle was blown and the walk commenced.
It was indeed fun and memorable!
At the end of the walk, Tanura dancers from Egypt gave us a spectacular performance, DJ Lins provided some hot tunes and then a raffle was drawn that saw a young Filipino lad walking away with Aed10,000/$2,740 for taking the coolest photograph and hash-tagging Walk2014 on Instagram!
I participated in #Walk2013, #Walk2014 and God willing #Walk2015.
Anyhow I can give back to the society, I will: It doesn't always have to be financial.
At the end of the exercise, I felt so fulfilled and accomplished that one would have thought I ran and completed a full marathon, meanwhile, it was just some kilometers that I walked!!! LOL
It's all good.
Enjoy the lovely pics below and have yourselves a fantastic weekend!
Cheers.
