The Department of Neurosurgery Wellness Team just completed the first Step Up Challenge! Not only did the group rack up a ton of steps but also created a wonderful community of walkers who wanted to achieve a goal together.
The challenge was open to all and the goal was to collectively walk from San Francisco to Denver (in accumulated steps). The challenge ran six weeks. We had 21 participants join in the team and collectively took just over 4.5 million steps! That is equivalent to 2,119 miles!
The goal for the program was to get to Denver but that goal was quickly surpassed and the team made it all the way to Akron, Ohio – only 450 miles short of reaching the East Coast!
During the six weeks the wellness committee held two regularly scheduled optional group walks; one leaving from CAM and one from MSLS. This was a wonderful opportunity for the team to connect with each other and also get more steps in.
Great job to all who participated!
Best,
Neurosurgery Wellness Team
