We had a TON of fun getting our steps in all day long for Pump It for Parkinson's!

Residents and staff took turns counting their steps for 15 minutes at a time on our NuStep machines in the Castle Town Center and Willows Arbor. A group of residents also participated by walking outside on this beautiful day.

Our goal for the day was to exceed 200,000 steps as a community, and we don't want to speak too soon, but we suspect we greatly exceeded it! Stay tuned for a special announcement about our final step total.

Thank you to our Well-Being Team for organizing this awesome activity. We were thrilled to participate in this nationwide event helping to raise awareness for the benefits of exercise for those living with Parkinson's Disease.

We are PUMPED to once again participate in Pump It for Parkinson's on April 9th!

Just 15 minutes on the NuStep will help us reach our campus-wide goal of over 200,000 steps to break last year's record. If you haven't yet, please sign up for a timeslot in the Fitness Center.

Let's have some fun and get our steps in while raising awareness for the benefits of exercise for those living with Parkinson's Disease!
