The um five K and the parade will end at Rocco Park where we’re having a health festival. Our theme this year is a healthy community that thrives together. And doctor Walker, I know that’s very important to you. Obviously, you work in the medical field. Um And to have this for the first time.
A five K and a health festival, tell us why you wanted to make sure to do that this year. I believe that in a, in America, we still have issues with health care and access to health care and whether it’s physical um health or mental health, there’s still a lot of inequalities.
And Martin Luther King was a champion for equality, liberty and freedom, but also in the health care arena and the and health care is a right and many people still don’t have access to care. So we’re bringing um attention to that issue by having a five K run where people are living healthy.
But at the health festival, we have um Rady Children Hospital, we have Livewe San Diego, we of people who’s gonna assess you for mental health. Um And all these different people will give you alternative health um how to live a healthy lifestyle.
So, health is really important to us and have access to health. So we’re excited about the parade. We’re excited about the five K. We’re excited about the health fest. So join us on January 14th on that Sunday and realize that you can be a change.
