About

The Dr. Reginald Mengi Foundation is proud to host the first ever, Inclusive Charity Walking Marathon (WALKATHON), to celebrate the International Disabilities Day for the year 2020. The theme for this year 2020 is “Not all Disabilities are Visible”, such as mental illness, chronic pain or fatigue, sight or hearing impairments, diabetes, brain injuries, neurological disorders, learning differences and cognitive dysfunctions, among others. According to the WHO World Report on Disability, 15 per cent of the world’s population, or more than 1 billion people, are living with disability. Of this number, it’s estimated 450 million are living with a mental or neurological conditions and two-thirds of these people will not seek professional medical help, largely due to stigma, discrimination and neglect. Another 69 million individuals are estimated to sustain Traumatic Brain Injuries each year worldwide, while one in 160 children are identified as on the autism spectrum.

Why walkathon
