GPS Consulting Launches FIGHT CLUB!
By A launch event was organized for our GPS corporate team, FIGHT CLUB, which will fight against breast cancer by walking in the ‘Make Strides Against Breast Cancer’ 3.1 mile walk being held in October by the American Cancer Society.
Rather than just sending out an email blast for people to sign up, one of our team captains, Dawn, set up an information table during the lunch hour with walking team refreshments—bottled water and trail mix, drumming up real excitement and interest in participating!
Big Changes Start with Small Steps
We shared some facts about the benefits of walking on a daily basis:
- Per a recent scientific study, walking just 15 minutes a day provides the same life expectancy increase that could be gained through giving up smoking!
- Walking briskly also lowers your risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes as much as running per another study.
- Additionally, avoiding those three medical conditions will reduce the risk factors for heart disease and stroke!
We All Benefit!
It’s a win-win. We are encouraging our coworkers, friends and families to join our corporate team, FIGHT CLUB, for their own health as well as to stride to raise money for breast cancer research, education, support, and to find a cure.
It’s super easy for any small business to become involved!
