Hello, I am 73 years old, and I have had Asthma for the past 40 years. I have been walking all my life for good health.

Last summer, I started tracking my steps, and I was walking 7000-8000 steps daily. I set a goal to double it by the fall, and I accomplished that goal. I continued to increase my goal by 2000 steps. By April, I reached a level of 25,000 steps per day.

In the last 30 days, I have walked one million steps, and I have set a goal of completing over one million steps each month. I am looking forward to continuing to walk and reduce my dependency on Asthma medicines.

Join me in supporting the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Let’s walk together!
