🚶🏼‍➡️🚶🏼‍➡️🚶🏼‍➡️They didn't think I'd be able to walk much --- but I keep trying! Never stop

I have had 27 foot surgeries, 5 or 6 broken bones In them and 2 bone infections in them. Add in neuropathy many wouldn't even try to keep on striving to walk.

I belong to the 2024 5% Fall Challenge Community Team within this team are 8 smaller teams. On most they have a weekly step Challenge. A small bit of background I used to weigh 288 lbs and used a power chair 97% of the time. My Dr had told me "Stop trying to get out of the chair. Here look at your xrays. You can see you'll not be able to walk." I had been in a bad car accident. That day I started to try.

The step Challenge is a goal we set for ourselves. It's not against anyone else. When I joined it a year ago my goal was 2,100 steps a day. Now that's certainly not much by most standards. But you see my feet, and have read about the Challenge they cause. I recently did my goal of 4,100! WOW! I'm an older person in waybetter shape than I was 15-20 years ago!!

Belonging to the 5% Challenge has changed my life!! I'm down down to 178 lbs. ByeBye 110 lbs!
Thank You to the 5% Challenge!!
