Step Challenge

🚶 PGSA Step Challenge is Back! 🏆

Join the challenge and get moving from November to April!

💡 Why 7,000 steps?
Recent research shows that averaging 7,000 steps/day is linked to clinically significant health benefits — and it’s a goal we can reach.

🎁 Monthly Prizes:
1. One random winner from participants averaging 7,000+ steps/day (can win multiple times)
2. One random winner from all participants (cannot win more than once)
Each winner gets $10!

Let’s get our steps in! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
