In fact, walking at a pace of 3 mph can substantially reduce the risk of developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes. National Walk@Lunch Day provides the perfect opportunity to get up from your desk and get on your feet for a 30‐minute walk. Remember to bring your comfortable shoes to work on April 24, then grab a co‐worker and get out and walk!

Join the Fight Against Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women in the United States. Combined, it’s estimated there will be more than 150,000 new cases of colon and rectal cancer reported in the U.S. in 2022 alone. Colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer don’t always cause symptoms, especially at first. That’s why getting screened is so important. With early screening and testing, it is preventable, treatable, and beatable! The CDC updated recommendations to begin screening for colon cancer starting at age 45. This March during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage you and your loved ones to be aware of risk factors and get screened.
