Are There any walkers out there? Just got back from the Doctors and
things look great-but she said I need to walk More. As we all know we
have had much success with out last challenges and it is fun to do
things as a group.
I would like to start another challege. Starting Monday August 4th keep
track of your miles while walking to just about anywhere! Just list you
mileage for each week on this website. No penalty to the team if you
don't walk. For twelve weeks I will keep track of the whole groups
mileage. Our last calculation walk total will be October 27th. I hope
that we can combine the totals and hit a 1000 miles target for the 12
weeks. It is all possible.
You can either pledge a total amount for the 12 week total or pledge an
amount per mile,(example .05 mile for each mile walked). At The end,
there will be Gift cards given out to the top three walkers(total Miles
Walked). As it is Olympic time (thanks Dawn) there wil be 3 ribbons
also awarded to those winning walkers. Of Course-Gold, Silver & Bronze.
The rest of the money collected will be used to help Dan with his
Flyers for his local shelter. If you have not seen or heard about them-
Just check the file area. They are terrific and will certainly aid in
getting the animals adopted. He has also come up with a volunteer
information flyer. If you have any extra time just ask Dan for
directions to his local shelter. They are always looking for volunteers.
I hope everyone is interested in the new challenge-Just let me know by
Monday Aug, 4th if you will be joining us. It will be fun and healthy
besides. I will have more information forth coming-Have a great day!!!
