RICHLAND CENTER, WIS. (WRCO / WRCE) If you are looking to change your lifestyle by losing weight or becoming more active in the new year and don’t have an accountability buddy, Walk Around the World with GRACE is a great option.
While working alone you get over 300 accountability buddies free of charge. For more information about Walk Around the World with GRACE go online to WWW.WALKWITHGRACE.ORG.
However, you do choose to set goals for the year, make sure they’re realistic and achievable so you can set yourself up for success.
The purpose is to lower cancer risk through regular exercise.
At least 150 minutes of exercise per week lowers risk.
This is an award winning cancer prevention program.
GRACE received the 2025 Impact Award “For Your Significant Impact on Cancer Prevention in Wisconsin”, from the Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative.
