On one end of the scale: a traditional 5km walk. On the opposite: an AI-powered language lab. Walking The Talk Foundation combines the two!
🎉 Happy New Year! If “get fitter” made it onto your resolution list, you’re in good company. And in 2026, you can kickstart that goal in a way that gives every step extra meaning.
We all know how January goes. We promise ourselves we’ll move more… and then somehow the only steps we take are to the fridge for leftover mince pies. There is good news though! A simple walk is still one of the most powerful wellbeing tools you have.

Walking is accessible. It’s gentle. And it works.
But that’s not all! In case you still need convincing, your strides could also build a brighter future for needy learners.
❓ How? Sign up with WTTF for the Galway Primary School Fundraiser Walk.
Our goal is for over 2,000 walkers to R.I.S.E. to the challenge! In doing so, you will raise funds to build an AI-powered language and literacy lab for this Gauteng primary school.
🖥️ More than just another computer room, the lab is a personalised learning environment. The AI-driven tools provide tailored lessons, instant feedback, and adaptive practice. As powerful as that is for the whole school, it is particularly beneficial for children with learning difficulties.
An acronym for Remedial, Intervention, Support, and Education, Galway Primary’s R.I.S.E. programme is committed to “Leave no child behind”. Here, AI will identify gaps quickly and support learners at their own pace, and without judgement or pressure. Catching up will become an engaging, confidence-building experience. Learners will grasp fundamentals faster and stay motivated as they progress.
Enter, and your morning lap around the park becomes part of something bigger. Every kilometre you log fuels a child’s education.
