But our small steps are meaningful, and we can do much to change our health trajectories! Let's find out where we stand and what aspects are within our potential control. We'll challenge ourselves to do better together, so stay tuned for some information about our next FREE Wellness While Walking community challenge! It won't be a party without you!
