LS_Billion_Step_Logo The Lee's Summit step total has grown to over 122,000,000 steps in the Lee's Summit People In Motion Billion Step Challenge. It is amazing to see so many people contributing steps to a community total. I am really overwhelmed by the positive response I have been receiving from the more than 240 participants. Beginning a few weeks ago, I started a blog series on KCFit’s blog highlighting a Walker of the Week, which has yielded some great interaction with walking participants. Next week, we will be highlighting Anytime Fitness, Lee’s Summit where Judy Schmoeger has been tracking the member’s steps and adding them to the Lee’s Summit total on their behalf.
