Million Mile Month- April
Jennifer Bristol
Thanks everyone for helping pilot the Million Mile Month last year. Below is info for April 2015. As you can see it is really taking off as a way to get folks active, connected and outside.
New for this year will be challenges during April such as: the 1st to support healthy hearts and the American Heart Association’s national walk day, April 15th as a fun stress reliever, and of course April 22nd to encourage folks to get outside in nature.
If you are in Austin on April 1st, please join us as Mayor Adler kicks off Million Mile Month 2015, 10am at City Hall Plaza.
Thank you - Steve
