Start Somewhere Walk Stepping Out on October 3

Also, don’t forget to mark your calendar for the “Start Somewhere Walk.” Last year the State of Iowa made history when more than 291,000 Iowans participated in Start Somewhere Walks that kicked off the Healthiest State Initiative. On Wednesday, October 3, we’re going to do it all again. Take time out of your day to walk a kilometer (0.62 miles) with friends, family, neighbors or co-workers and be part of this life-changing movement. You can visit http://www.iowahealthieststate.com/healthiest-state-walk to commit to walk that day or to help coordinate a walking route for your office.
