Clarion and CGD school walk their way to health last week

Gov. Kim Reynolds has again declared October as Healthiest State Month. Throughout the month, there will be various activities and healthy goals that Iowans are invited to participate in.

The first big event was last Wednesday when “Team up for 10,” the Healthiest State 10^th Annual Walk, was held. The walk started in October 2011, when Gov. Terry Branstad invited all Iowans to take part in a "Start Somewhere Walk." The event was a call to action for Iowans to improve their health. Ten years later, the walk is still going strong.
