A few weeks ago, all coworkers and I received an email about a walking challenge. This challenge would ask us to calculate how many steps we take in a day. We would sign up into teams of at most five people. My mom just so happens to work with me and I told her that I wanted to try it.
We then asked a group of our friends to join our team, but I still didn’t know how I was going to calculate my steps seeing as though I am in a wheelchair. I knew some research would have to go into finding out how to calculate my steps. I googled how many steps are in 1 mile for a wheelchair. My wheelchair calculates miles so I knew if I could find out how many steps are in a mile I could participate in the challenge with my friends/coworkers and an amazing mom. After doing some research, I found out that one mile in a wheelchair calculates to about 2,600 steps. There will be times that my wheelchair runs on empty, but I know that I will always overcome it.
We won’t know until June which team wins. But I am thankful for the fact that I can partake in this challenge with the most amazing people I know! Which further goes to show my wheelchair is not a challenge to me or the people that surround me!
