82-year-old Joburger receives certificate for walking 22 000km
He says it is a calming activity to do with friends.
Sandringham resident and avid walker Joe Yudelowitz, 82, recently received a certificate from the Walk/Run For Life programme for walking a staggering 22 000 kilometres, the North Eastern Tribune reports.
Yudelowitz received the certificate during a small lunch held in Norwood in the presence of his walking friends and family.
“It was an amazing little event. I’m so proud of this achievement,” said Yudelowitz.
As a avid walker, he participates in the Walk/Run For Life programme in Sandringham, and aims to walk at least 24km per week.
“There’s a group of us who walk together along six different routes. It’s such a calming activity to do with your friends.
“I think that walking is such an amazing thing to do. Besides being healthy, it is nice to be out in the neighbourhood and socialising. I recommend it to everyone.”
