Today I heard about Girl Trek, an organization that works with females of color to live healthier lives. This national non-profit organization wants Trekkers, girls or women who walk with purpose, to commit to making real strides toward healthier communities. Their national waking campaign begins on Sunday, April 4th and ends Saturday, June 26th. That's 12 weeks of walking - 30 minutes a day for 5 days each week. The goal is to have 500 women register. At the end of 12 weeks, that's 1 million minutes of walking. Awesome!!
Girl Trek lists some great reasons to start walking. Check out their website - www.girltrek.org for some interesting information. I'll bet you learn something new; I certainly did.
