Speaking at the event, Ayo Animashaun said “I started Walk For Life to inspire people. I’ve been a fitness enthusiast for as long as I can remember. You will either find me running, jogging or playing squash. It’s important as humans that we find time in our busy schedule to keep fit, because if we want to get the best out of our body, we need to give the best to our body.”
