Good morning! We hope all is fantastic with you. It’s Friday!

The other morning (a non-Friday), I was asked, What is Walk with a Doc?

This is what our team sees. We see game-changers. We see community members, hospital administrators, innovators, docs, nurses, and medical students refusing the status quo and rebelling. 

They tell us that we’re not meant to be sedentary. We are meant to be smiling, healthy, and active, together.

They tell us they want a program that (1) works (2) is free for participants, (3) has stood the test of time (and metrics), (4) is published, and (5) is so easy to implement that it makes you feel like you got away with something.

They don’t need/want to be a hero, but it will happen to them. Just like the others. They will be improving countless lives in their region. They will be making people happy. 

People will be at their WWAD, or see it on TV, or in the paper, and ask the same question,

“Whose idea was it to bring WWAD to (insert your city name)? Was it Nancy’s?”

“Nope, it was Bob’s. Said he liked seeing people happy. He mentioned having a friend with (insert a disease here) and wanted to do something. He said he wanted to do everything he could to prevent it from happening to his family, friends, and neighbors. That’s why he said he called.”

“Hmmm. I would’ve guessed it was Nancy who had called.”

Minor Housekeeping issue: The answer to our previous trivia question (5 institutions of higher learning who’ve graduated a US President and Super Bowl winning QB) – Stanford University, University of Delaware, Miami University (OH), US Naval Academy, and University of Michigan.

Super tangent here, have you seen this guy (@troyhawke)? He is brilliant and so darn fun.

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish
