Walkathon 2025, a 5-kilometer awareness march, was successfully organized at the New Ruby Hospital link road in Jalandhar. This impactful initiative was led by Rotary Club Jalandhar West in association with Dr. K.S.G. Memorial Charitable Society, with a mission to promote cancer prevention and encourage a healthy lifestyle.
The route was carefully mapped through key areas of Jalandhar city, spreading a strong message to the public: adopting daily walking routines and consuming a nutritious diet are crucial steps toward breaking away from sedentary lifestyles and embracing overall well-being.

Kuldip Singh, Mr. Parwinder Singh, Mr. Raman Kundra, Rtn. Tarsem Singh Bhola (Secretary), and Rtn. T.P.S. Bajaj (President), who executed the plan with precision.
Over 600 participants enthusiastically joined the walk, including doctors and staff members from New Ruby Hospital. The hospital’s premises featured a lively raised stage, where renowned host Mr. Rajan Syal of Parindey fame set the tone for the event with high energy and interactive engagement. His spirited hosting and vibrant performances, including lively songs and tappas, energized the crowd and created a festive atmosphere to kickstart the walk.
The event commenced with a ceremonial flag-off by DGE Rtn. Rohit Oberoi, Sh. Charanjit Singh Channi (Chairman, CT Institute), and Dr. S.P.S. Grover (PDG and Director, New Ruby Hospital, Jalandhar).
