About Moon Walk
Moon Walk is a project of the Wellness Champions of the Quad City Health Initiative (QCHI). Between April 4, 2008 and June 27, 2008, the Quad Cities will compete with Peoria and Champaign-Urbana to “walk” a community total of 954,800 miles, the equivalent of two round trips to the moon!
Why? Because the Wellness Champions are committed to helping Quad City residents make healthy choices regarding diet and exercise. The Moon Walk is a fun way to reinforce the importance of daily exercise in maintaining our health and preventing disease. Moreover, we were challenged! The Moon Walk started in Peoria in 2003. In 2006, they invited the Quad Cities to join the race and we won in just five weeks! Last year in 2007, over 5,000 people participated in the Quad Cities race but, alas, Peoria was victorious. This year we will race against our old challenger Peoria and welcome a new contender to the race. The coveted Moon Walk trophy's fate lies in the balance.
