Here is what others have said about the
WOMAN Challenge!

"I ran track and cross country in college and just finished up at the beginning of May. I wanted to continue running, but motivation is much harder to find when you are not training for any races. My Mom introduced me to the Woman Challenge and it worked perfectly to help keep me in shape and running! I also joined the challenge with my Mom to get her started in exercise. I love my Mom and wish she could live forever, but since she can't, I am hoping to add as many years onto her life and possible!!"
