Project Live’s Walk-A-Thon Challenge

Project Live held its first “Walk-A-Thon” this spring-summer to raise awareness of the importance of exercise to overall health,  and to promote physical fitness for both consumers and staff.  We tracked our steps and mileage to see if, as an agency, we could take enough steps to walk across America and back. A friendly competition among the programs and houses encouraged everyone to participate and challenge themselves. 

By Week 12, the end of the event,  PLI staff and residents met their goal.   They walked a total of 19,565,660 steps and 6,068  miles,  and burned almost 800,000 calories.  Congratulations to all the participants !
