What is Walkathon Portugal 2023?

Walkathon Portugal is a joint initiative by YPO and Associação Salvador. On two different dates and locations, a walk of approximately 5km is promoted, as part of a solidarity mission.

The aim of Walkathon Portugal 2023 is to raise awareness and funds for the inclusion of people with motor disabilities in our society. This year teams can sign up to walk in Porto, on the 17th of June, or in Lisbon, on the 18th of June.

Together we can change lives! And we are counting on you to help us finance even more home adaptation works for people with motor disabilities and proven economic need.
