A super Fun Fest of physical activity, games, group classes, healthy food, cooking, delicious smoothies, good music and many more things that can make people more aware of both their own health as well as that of others.
This event, which started on Friday, is being held to raise funds for Puttinu Cares and is taking place at the The BodyForge Gym in Victoria.
It was a superb start it was for the GWW on Friday, when the event was given an electrifying kick off by Sensei Ray Cutajar of the Seishinkan Dojo Malta, who gave the group a stunning Aikido demonstation.
The Health Promotion Unit from the Gozo General Hospital turned up in full force on Saturday morning, ready to show Gozo how to take better care of its health.
They did free assessments for the general public, which include BMI’s, blood glucose and weight, and blood pressure appraisals.
There was also some great music by local talents – including DJs Joseph Louis Grech and George Attard.
The Gozo branch of the Civil Protection Department turned up in the afternoon with some surprises for all the children attending.
Local celebrities are taking part, leading DJs, TV personalities and sports stars. Among the attractions will be a bouncy castle for children, FoxfireYouth and talks by consultants on subjects such as diabetes among others.
The Puttinu Cares Gozo Committee is encouraging all people on Gozo to attend this fun weekend, which will encourage participants to be more aware of their health and at the same time help the very worthy cause of Puttinu Cares. So don’t miss out on this great fun weekend, whch will be a great chance to have a good time and get fit too.
Donatello Pisani, manager of The BodyForge said, “their philosophy as the largest gym in Gozo, which we strive to teach all our members and friends, is to embrace the view that if you can dream it, you can achieve it.”
