Walking is one of the easiest things you can do to improve your health!

Unfortunately many Latino families lack access to safe places to walk and play, thus face health disparities.

The America Public Health Association is hosting a billion mile challenge to encourage everyone to log some steps and to start the conversation about designing communities that promote physical activity.

The Billion Steps Challenge begins January 9, and continues through April 9, 2017.
