Tickets now on sale with individuals from all walks of life invited to attend the charitable walkathon at Dubai Science Park on 18 November
Dubai is gearing up for the fourth annual WeWalk walkathon, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children with autism. The event takes place on 18 November at Dubai Science Park, with participants invited to walk, jog, or run a 3.5km route.
Organised by TECOM Group PJSC in partnership with Dubai Autism Centre (DAC), all proceeds from the WeWalk 2023 walkathon will be donated in support of DAC’s mission to empower children with autism through education and therapeutic interventions.

WeWalk aims to inspire responsible community practices and build a happy society for all. Previous editions of the walkathon have attracted more than 4,500 participants to the Group’s business districts, including Dubai Science Park, Dubai Knowledge Park, and Dubai Design District (d3).
In 2022, the Ministry of Community Development registered over 4,500 cases of autism in the UAE, with males constituting 80 per cent of the total cases registered.
By fostering a spirit of generosity, WeWalk aims to support local organisations, such as DAC and in previous editions the UAE Rare Disease Society and Al Jalila Foundation, that play a vital role in shaping a brighter and more inclusive future for the community.
The 2022 edition of WeWalk, held at Dubai Science Park, raised more than AED 700,000 in donations for the UAE Rare Disease Society.

Dubai Science Park and the UAE Rare Disease Society dedicated part of the raised donations through the initiative’s charity partner, Beit Al Khair Society, to develop awareness programmes to help shorten the diagnosis journey of patients, create a database of rare diseases, and enhance access to specialists, diagnostics, and treatments.
Tickets are now available for purchase from WeWalk.ae, where family-friendly activities and entertainment will contribute to a memorable community experience for all attendees.
