VSI National Walkathon Promotes Amputation-Free India Vision
NTR District Collector Flags Off Walkathon to Promote Vascular Health · deccanchronicle.com

Imagine some people might lose a body part, like a foot, because of health problems that could have been stopped.

This event was a big walk in Vijayawada to tell everyone how important it is to take care of your body to prevent these serious issues.

Doctors and helpers walked together to remind people to pay attention to things like foot health, especially if they have diabetes.

They want to help everyone understand that by knowing about these problems early and taking care of yourself, you can avoid losing limbs.

This is part of a bigger effort across India to help more people stay healthy and keep all their body parts.
