In the fall of 2019 Peaceful Remedies received a phone call from someone asking what we offered to those who were immobile and couldn’t get to us. Hmmm. Our answer was “nothing.”
It was something to think about and discuss. Well, 2020 rolled around and that concept jumped to the top of the list. The organization did not put a brake on very much during that time. We found a way to carry on and also added some things.
One of the new ideas was the Miles For Mary program. During July we typically celebrate Mary Gosek Day in the City of Oswego and Mary’s birthday, July 30. That wasn’t going to happen in 2020. With everyone distancing and spending a lot of time at home, we decided to encourage people to get out and move for health and wellness. Miles For Mary took place in July that year and what a success it was. Registrants totaled 131. Wow! People shared their adventures as they covered miles walking.
Since then, the program has expanded to include covering miles any way you want...walk, run, swim, bike, kayak, roller skate if you want. Just move! Local businesses The Mix and Oswego Sub Shop sponsor the program.
