October is International Walk to School Month, which is designed to give children, parents, school teachers and community leaders an opportunity to be part of a global event as they celebrate the many benefits of walking. In 2009, millions of walkers from around the world walked to school together for various reasons - all hoping to create communities that are safe places to walk.
The goal of the walk varies from community to community. Some walks rally for safer and improved streets, others to promote healthier habits, and still others to conserve the environment. Whatever the reason, the International Walk to School events are held to encourage a more walkable world - one community at a time.
