What a great day for a walk! Hundreds of downtown Raleigh folks joined Kathy Higgins, Gary Marino and the Million Step March team today to mark the near-halfway point of our statewide walking campaign.

After a chilly start to the morning, Kathy and Gary took the stage at 11:30 a.m. to thank the crowd and inspire everyone to keep logging those steps. "We're a bottomless cup of walking enthusiasm, all of a sudden," Gary said. "North Carolina, keep it healthy and keep on marching."

We'll have much more to share from Raleigh. For now, enjoy these photos from the rally.
