How I Walk is a movement to rebrand the word walking by challenging individual and societal perspectives.

The visual campaign aims to promote walking as an inclusive physical activity term that is individualized.  There are various ways to walk, and now is the time to rebrand the word walking so that everybody is included in walking initiatives.
