(Spencer)– The month of February is Heart Month. Spencer Hospital is holding a unique event to commemorate the occasion. PR and Marketing Director Susan Zulk says they’re inviting area residents to participate in a virtual walk from Spencer to Valentine, Nebraska, a distance of 331 miles. It starts Tuesday (Feb. 6th) and will run through Monday, February 12th. Zulk says it’s easy to get involved…
“You can report your miles for each day online. We have a form that you can go to that is a Microsoft form that you can find on our hospital website, or Spencer Hospital Facebook page will have it as well. And it’s just really easy to get to. You fill out that form after your seven days of how many miles you walked each day. For each mile you walk you’ll be entered into a drawing for a basket of really fun, a different variety of goodies, from the Spencer Hospital gift shop and we hope to get that drawn and presented before Valentine’s Day so you can treat yourself or if you haven’t been shopping you can give it to a loved one.”
Zulk says exercise is important to maintaining a healthy heart…
“It’s just a really easy way for anyone who’s already currently exercising to have a little fun with it, but for those of us that have been maybe a little bit of a winter couch potato, it’s a great way to take those first steps and start a routine fitness, walking pattern, for good health.”
