Last week I went to St. Mary’s Medical Center during Hospital Week to help promote the St. Mary’s Blue Springs Billion Step Challenge. St. Mary’s is the title sponsor and asked if I would help them engage more employees and community members. I had a good time meeting new people and talking about such an exciting community initiative. We had a number of new participants sign on and I hope the momentum keeps up as the weather has continued to allow for plenty of walking outside.

St. Mary’s generous sponsorship allows for the Billion Step Challenge to be FREE for anyone in the community. Just visit KCFit.net, Sign Up, and Join the challenge! Be sure to get your family and friends involved. The power is in the numbers. I hope to see more than 1,000 participants adding their steps to help us reach our goal of One Billion!

Feel free to share where you walk to accumulate your steps for the Billion Step Challenge in the comments. I walked the St. Mary’s Medical Center trail and loved it. I have also been known to run at Old Mill Park and Railroad Park, play tennis at Baumgardner Park, or play basketball at Young Park.
