Participate in Shine’s 10,000 Steps Challenge – Register by October 21
October 24 – November 4

Walking is something we do every day. Did you know ParticipACTION suggests healthy adults take at least 10,000 steps a day? However, the average adult only takes 5,000. In order to get the recommended 10,000, Shine is asking you a very important question...

Can You Commit to Walking 10,000 Steps a Day for Two Weeks?

If you are up for the challenge or want to challenge a classmate you have choices for how you’d like to get involved.
