National Walking Challenge
 
It is time once again to lace up those tennis shoes and start walking!  This year’s walking challenge will be held April 21st – 27th.  Once again, the goal is for each participant to walk 70,000 steps in seven days.  Participants can purchase pedometers for $10, with the proceeds going towards local Adolescent Health Initiatives to help combat Childhood obesity.  Participants do not need to purchase a pedometer if they already have one – simply fill out and submit a registration form and complete a log sheet.
 
Last year The WellStar Institute for Better Health and WellStar Health Place placed second out of over 60 communities that participated in the challenge.  Their goal this year is to be the number one community with the most number of steps walked!  To participate, contact Christy Miller at 770-793-3708.
