As an Event Planner, I’m always thinking ahead — timelines, milestones, and goals. This year, one of my most meaningful events to plan for is my 7th Walk to End Alzheimer’s on October 24th. But before the event arrives, there’s another important goal I’m working toward: logging 420 miles of activity leading up to Walk Day.
So far, I’ve logged 98 miles, which means I still have 322 miles to go. Like any successful event, preparation is key — and every mile is part of the journey.
A Week of Travel… and a Reality Check
Recently, I invited my followers to guess how many steps I would log during a busy week traveling to Irvine, Disneyland, and El Dorado Hills. With a packed schedule, I expected to log a lot of steps.
The final count? 68,000 steps for the week.
While that might sound impressive, it actually averaged less than 10,000 steps per day — not quite the progress I was hoping for. It was a good reminder that just like planning an event, you can’t assume things will fall into place. You have to be intentional and track your progress along the way.
April Challenges to Build Momentum
With April around the corner, I’m planning to make a dent in my mileage with three upcoming challenges:
- 60 miles of activity for Walk to End Alzheimer’s
- 30 miles of walking or running for Planned Parenthood
- 1Up Nutrition Transformation Challenge
These challenges will help build momentum as I continue planning for Walk Day in October.
Celebrating 8 Years of #MeatlessMonday
In addition to logging miles, I’m also celebrating my 8th #MeatlessMonday anniversary in Hayward. As part of this celebration, I’m inviting sponsors to participate with a $28 donation to be featured.
This milestone is another opportunity to bring people together, raise awareness, and support a cause that impacts so many families — including mine.
Join Me in the Journey
Just like any great event, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is built on community support. There are many ways to get involved:

Every step taken and every dollar raised helps bring us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s.
