Springmoor Walks its Way to
Fitness—and Paris!
By Kari Richie, Springmoor
Health and Fitness director
We just finished walking from
Raleigh, N.C., to Paris, France, and, boy, are our bodies feeling the benefits.
Ninety Springmoor Life Care Retirement Community residents and staff just completed a 10-week walking
challenge, S.A.M.E. (Springmoor Actively Making Efforts) Goal, and recorded
walking the equivalent of 13,172 miles—or a little more than the distance from
Raleigh, N.C., to Hawaii (about 5,000 miles), followed by a stroll from Hawaii
to Paris, France (about 7,500 miles).
