Our social walking program begins at St. Leonard and travels to Disneyland California. From there, the walk returns to St. Leonard where walkers will adventure to Assisi Italy. Residents, volunteers, staff, and family members turn in their miles that they accumulate within a month, and those miles translate to a set distance on our maps as walkers move forward with their journey. Many methods of walking occur and depending on the effort the miles are adjusted. We have had miles turned in from bedside marching, chair walking, underwater treadmill walking, walking in the sand, mall walking, treadmill walking, NuStep stepping, and indoor and outdoor walking. Ruth, Terry, and Dorothy were the first walkers to reach Disneyland and now they are headed back to Centerville, Ohio, where they will move forward with their social walking program to Assisi Italy. Together they have walked over 9,000 miles, and with their enthusiasm for health and wellness they are also known to encourage others to join the program. We celebrate together as we have over 300 walkers in our social walking program all walking for better health and socialization.
