Oprah Winfrey's Live Your Best Life Walk to support PIH's work in Haiti

Posted on Apr 14, 2010

 

Oprah Winfrey's  O: The Oprah Magazine recently selected Partners In Health (PIH) as one of ten organizations to benefit from the magazine’s Live Your Best Life Walk, to be held on Mother’s Day—May 9—in New York City.

The Live Your Best Life Walk was organized to commemorate O Magazine’s tenth anniversary. Over 30,000 walkers and fundraisers are expected to be on hand, along with a variety of television and musical personalities, including PIH Medical Director Joia Mukherjee.

Walkers are encouraged to use the walk as a chance to fundraise for one of Oprah’s favorite nonprofit organizations, including PIH. All funds raised on PIH’s behalf will help support our programs in Haiti.

“Mother’s Day is not only an important occasion to recognize the strength and love of mothers across the globe, but also a time to reflect on mothers and children in need,” said Joia Mukherjee, who will be representing PIH at the walk. “On May 9, we will walk, sing, and come together to show our support, in solidarity and great hope, for the mothers of Haiti and all her people ”
