To recognize all the progress that participants have made in the Moving Starke County Forward “Moon Walkers” initiative so far this year, a drawing for a Fitbit was recently held.

North Judson resident Peggy Bohac was randomly selected and MSCF representatives were pleased to award her with the prize. Another prize will be presented at the end of October when the campaign wraps up for the year.

This is the 6th year that Moving Starke County Forward has hosted a ‘Get Moving Challenge’ to encourage community members to be active by walking, running, biking or engaging in any physical activity of their choice.

Moving Starke County Forward The group is an ongoing coalition of leaders whose purpose is to improve the quality of life and encourage, create and advocate for a healthy Starke County.

It was formed in 2012 after the county ranked 91st out of 92 counties in Indiana health outcomes rankings. Since its implementation, the county has moved up more than 10 spots to 79th.

The “Moon Walkers” campaign began on July 1st and will run until October 31st. Click the following link to register for the challenge or if you’re already signed up, you can log your miles here.
