The Oglesby staff members recently did a six-week steps challenge that ended today right before the holidays! The group collectively walked a total of 10,621,845 steps! The top steppers had some impressive numbers! The first-place stepper was Carla Keith with 848,642 steps, second place Kyle Kiesewetter with 845,822 steps, and Bailey Simpson with 648,578 steps! It was a fun way to go into the holidays keeping health a priority! Way to go OPS!
