“I love to walk but it isn”'t always easy to find someone to walk with,” says Pat Eagan. “The Phillips Wellness 50+ walking group helps me walk more regularly.” Amy Rincon says she is “proud to wear my green t-shirt and be a part of a community of people working to keep ourselves healthy.” She and her husband, Roy, have hardly missed a week since the Phillips Wellness 50+ walking group formed last May.
Now, the group is kicking off a new community challenge””the Phillips Round the World Challenge. None of us can walk around the world by ourselves but together we can do it.
We invite everyone to participate in this fun way to contribute to a community goal, get some exercise and meet new people. No matter what speed or distance you walk (or roll), this is for you.
