It all started with just one step...

Updated: Oct 29, 2020

On November 1, 2020 I will celebrate having walked every day in a row for 11 years!

That’s 4,018 Consecutive Days – Whoo Hoo!

It started out as a 30-day goal just to get myself back on track! Well it turns out that one day leads to another and another….More than a few times along the way I told Gene (my husband and co-founder of the Walking Connection) that I didn’t feel like walking anymore. He would just respond by saying, “So tomorrow morning you are going to say Day 1, Whoo Hoo!?” (Yes, he always seems to know just the right thing to say...)

So here I am with almost ELEVEN full years of days – of walks – of hikes – of miles, sometimes only ten minutes, but an accomplishment none-the-less. I'm still walking through thick and thin even during these uncertain times.

As I do each year I want to share this milestone with everyone!

To celebrate I am inviting all of my friends from around the world to participate in A World Wide Walk. All you have to do is be active for at least 10 minutes on November 1. Walk, hike, run, bike, swim, yoga - whatever works for you. That simple, that easy.

It can be anywhere in the world, any place YOU are.

It doesn't have to be far or fast, just do it with intention.

Just walk for you!
