Every step counts—and it’s even better with a friend!
Meet Betty and Sharon, two amazing neighbors who make time every day for their “buddy walk.” Walking daily isn’t just great for your physical health—it boosts your mood, strengthens your heart, and keeps your mind sharp.
And when you walk with a friend, it turns exercise into connection. You share laughs, stories, and encouragement along the way.
So grab a buddy, lace up your shoes, and take that first step today. Your body—and your friendship—will thank you!

Who’s your walking buddy? Tag them below! 👟❤️
