I know how things can kind of blur together during the start of a new year, and I don’t want you to miss this.
The reason I’m so excited about this project – and why it is so needed in our community – is that it hits at the heart of what I hear so many people struggling with… “I don’t have the energy to walk, or I’m afraid to walk alone.” A unique partnership with the CWPV HOA, CWPV Foundation, Walk with a Doc Foundation, Sun Lakes chapter of Walk with a Doc and Chandler Regional Hospital tells us help is on its way.
This gift to yourself, your friends and family is one of the most important investments you will ever make. Leading by example is an investment in your health and generations to come.
2019 saw 47 Sun Lakes Trail Blazers walking with Dr Hu of Dignity Health Care around Cottonwood’s five lakes. Dr Hu spoke on rib fractures and how important movement was in maintaining mobility.
“Walking is one of the simplest ways to get active and stay active. With each step you take, you travel further down the path to a healthier lifestyle. Research has shown that walking can have a significant impact on your health by lowering your chances of heart disease. Learn more about the benefits of walking and how incorporating it more can lead to healthier living.” – American Heart Association

Dr Andrew Wiel recommends walking as a must-do exercise that is effective for overall health (it strengthens almost every major organ in the body, promotes bone density and boosts the immune system) and helps with weight loss.
Dr. Sandra Indermuhle of Dignity Health Care shared information about Opioid Awareness with 30 hearty walkers who braved February’s cold temperatures.
