Plan of Work: Active Living and Health Promotion
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Social media posts were made to promote the event, as well as throughout the month to motivate and encourage participants to walk in all weather conditions.
Many comments were made on how the challenge motivated them to walk more than normal, or how participants would never have walked on certain days if it were for the challenge. We were asked to do more challenges in the future in random months as well.
One participant began walking and followed up, reporting that because of the walking alone, she has been able to stop taking three different medications. She continues to walk even after the challenge because of the positive effects it had on her. A majority of participants reported an increase in not only their physical health, but a major positive impact on their mental health as well.
