Walkathons are popular fundraisers for issues that affect
large sections of the population.
Most commonly, Walkathons focus on fighting or curing
pervasive diseases or ailments such as AIDS, Cancer,
Diabetes, Lupus, and Arthritis, and participation is also often
promoted as a symbol of empowerment, remembrance, or
awareness of sufferers and their relations.
