BIG SPRING, TX – Walk Across Texas, a fun, team-based physical activity program kicks off today in Howard County. Teams of up to 8 members can register to walk a total of 832 miles, the distance it would be to walk across the state of Texas.
Casey McPherson, local County Extension Agent – Family and Community Health, told KBest News that walking 832 miles is easier than it sounds when the amount is shared with up to 8 members on a team.
