The Walk of Perseverance — August 18

Walk for your dream. Walk for your comeback. Walk for someone who never gave up on you.

On August 18, the world comes together for something greater than sport — The Walk of Perseverance.
A global movement born from Never Give Up Day, this walk unites people across countries, cultures, and causes — all stepping forward with one shared message: we don’t give up.

It’s not about speed.
It’s not about competition.
It’s about showing up — for yourself, for your loved ones, and for anyone who needs to see that persistence still matters.

For Individuals

Walk for your story.
Walk for your comeback, your recovery, your fight, or your future.
Walk because you’ve survived something that tried to break you — or because you’re still standing in the middle of it.
You can walk to honor a dream that’s still alive, a hope that’s still growing, or a person who once believed in you when no one else did.
Every step says the same thing: I’m still here. I’m still fighting.

For Families and Friends

Some walk for those who can’t — a parent who’s ill, a child in treatment, a friend rebuilding their life.
Some walk in memory of someone who never gave up, to carry their courage forward.
Each story adds to a tapestry of perseverance that spans the planet.
On August 18, no one walks alone.

For Businesses and Teams

Companies, associations, schools, and organizations are invited to lead their own Walk of Perseverance — a team-building experience that goes far beyond a simple event.
It’s a moment to celebrate resilience at work — the courage to adapt, to rebuild, to innovate, to keep going when times are tough.
Gather your staff, clients, or community and dedicate your walk to something that unites you: your shared determination to overcome.
Whether you’re a small local business or a global corporation, this is your chance to walk with purpose — and show that perseverance is part of your DNA.

You can walk individually or in a group, anywhere in the world — along a beach, through your city, in your local park, or even around your workplace.

Why It Matters

We don’t give up. Not today. Not ever.
