Walk There! Challenge
Kicks Off

Instead of counting calories, count steps with this month's Walk There! Challenge. This month-long event in April encourages Cumberland Galleria professionals to give walking a chance as a substitute for driving. We hope this contest will encourage you to consider walking over driving for short trips such as lunch and running errands.

Log those steps online and you'll be eligible for one of 8 iPod Shuffles to be given out as prizes in the Cumberland Galleria area. The more you log, the better your chances of winning.

The person that records the most steps during the month will win a weekend getaway to The Inn at Serenbe in Palmetto, GA. Last year, Peggy Powers of Freeman Mathis & Gary, LLP walked to the grand prize, logging 745,525 steps - or approximately 372 miles!

Team up with co-workers, carpool partners, vanpool members and plan to Walk There! throughout April. Brought to you through our partnership with The Clean Air Campaign.

*A limited supply of pedometers are available through Commuter Club on a first come, first served basis. Contact Lisa Hustrulid to find out more.
