Yesterday, our residents and staff took part in the annual "Pump it for Parkinson’s" event in our Kiva auditorium! Hosted by the National Institute for Fitness and Sport in partnership with NuStep, this nationwide initiative raises awareness about the benefits of exercise for those living with Parkinson’s Disease. 81 Residents and 56 employees tracked their steps throughout the day and logged time on NuStep machines to help our community reach an impressive goal of 300,000+ steps! In just one day, our community was able to count:
268,799 NuStep steps
267,817 Employee steps
254,211 Resident steps
for a grand total of 790,799 steps!!
🏃♂️💪
