Healthy Walk Takes Pandemic In Stride

Every Tuesday for the past two years, “we meet up, and we walk,” says Armand Turner of Healthy Savannah.

A pretty simple concept born out of a pretty complicated time.

“When we started this, it was really just a way to stay connected through the start of the pandemic and it has actually survived longer than we ever thought it would,” said Turner.

Tuesday celebrating two years, walking two miles, every Tuesday.
