Running—or its gentler counterpart, jogging—is one of the most accessible and powerful exercises for holistically improving the body’s health and stamina. The best part? You don’t need a gym or special equipment; you can even start by jogging on the spot in your own home, immediately tapping into a vast number of benefits, especially an improved heart health.

At Newman’s, we believe a healthy body for our team and for our customers is paramount. This conviction is why we consistently advocate for physical wellness and seek out partners who share this dedication.

Our commitment to heart health led us to proudly participate in the incredible Heart Strings Run organized by the dedicated Rotaract Club of Mulago in 2024.

For those unfamiliar with the driving force behind this event:

• Rotary International is a global network of community, business, and professional leaders united worldwide under the motto “Service Above Self,” with the mission of providing humanitarian service, encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations, and advancing goodwill and peace.
• Rotaract is a crucial, energetic extension of this organization, bringing together young people (ages 18 and older) who are committed to service and leadership development. Members organize and manage their own local and international projects, work side-by-side with their sponsoring Rotary clubs as partners in service, and form a vital part of the global Rotary family.

This incredible event was a powerful movement focused on healing hearts, specifically through this physical demonstration of solidarity. The funds raised are dedicated to sponsoring crucial closed heart surgeries for children at the Uganda Heart Institute.

At Newman’s, we believe that every child deserves a healthy start, and we were deeply honored to be part of the Heart Strings Run 2024!

We continue to encourage you to make regular exercise a part of your routine. Jogging is one way, walking is another, swimming, football, or whatever activity works best for you and keeps you moving.

And as you nourish your body with movement, remember to fuel it well. Newman’s Almonds are great friends of heart health and the perfect snack to power your next run!
