My name is Greg.

There are many reasons why I walk. First, I have a very busy life and I walk as part of my work, running my business in the farming industry. I also walk intentionally to ensure that I can stay fit and healthy for my personal life. My wife and I have raised 8 children and are working on double-digit grandchildren; this keeps us busy and I want to be able to enjoy life with this family as they grow up.

Jim was my brother-in-law and, even though he has passed on, I know his memory will always be with us. He was active and kind and loved being part of this family. So, I walk out of respect for him. 

I also walk because my wife is involved in the 500 mile challenge and I want to keep up with her! I know there are days when neither of us wants to put in extra steps but we do it anyway. It gives us a little extra motivation to do what we can to keep ourselves mentally and physically well.

That's why I walk.
