Big doings during May to remind us about the life life-changing benefits of Nordic walking::

• The International Nordic Walking Federation is celebrating World Nordic Walking Day on May 18 and 19. Come be part of the worldwide community!
• Talk about timing. May is also Older Americans Month. Yup. That includes me. Let's use this healthy activity to create a fantastic new journey to wellness.
• So May is also Family Wellness Month. Nordic walking can be a family affair.
