Adding a simple brisk walk is the easiest way to stay fit and healthy, so I am excited to be associated with a smart initiative like the Skechers Walkathon. I love that it’s a great event for those who want to take their first step towards a more fit lifestyle. I am so glad to be a part of their biggest event which supports this cause.”
