👟 Wild study is now a challenge
|
Reader, if I told you a way to drop your chance of dying — from literally anything — by 12%, would you donate a quarter to the clinic? What if it could drop your chances another 12% on top of the first if you did it again? And again? Would you give a quarter, just $0.25, for that …each time? Of course you would. If it were me, I’d back up the Brinks truck with every quarter I had. 😆 I came across a study that really shocked me, and it apparently shocked the researchers themselves… They found that if a person takes just 1,000 more steps per day, it can lower their risk of dying from all causes by 12%. (PMID: 34417979) That’s wild to me. And incredibly powerful. And it’s why we’re launching Steps for Care — a challenge that turns a healthy habit into care for those who need it most.
It’s only $25 to join, and it goes like this:
And you don’t even need to make good on it until the end of the challenge. No pressure on mileage. Just small steps + purpose = big change. But it gets much more interesting: Steps for Care runs from July 1st - 31st. And collectively, we’re aiming for 8 million steps! (Also, there may just be a surprise for us all if we hit it. 🤐) However, we can’t do it without you and our community of supporters. I’m pledging 10,000 steps per day (310,000 by the 31st). Dr. Jubril, Shimuna, Nurse Katherine — they’re all in it. Can we count on you to help bring us closer to 8 million steps? It’s simple. Your daily steps become a catalyst for real benefit to not just your health, but someone else’s. If you’ve ever thought…
We kick off tomorrow morning. 👟 And steps do not count retroactively if you join late. So the sooner you join, the greater your impact will be. Let’s step toward better health together. See you inside, —Mostafa
