Kathy Higgins and Gary Marino crossed the finish line in Wilmington last night after an incredible walking journey across the state. After 73 days, 600 miles and more than a million steps each, the Million Step March ended with a celebration in the Port City's Riverfront Park.

Even though the walk is over, the campaign doesn't end. Thousands of North Carolinians have already started to see the benefits of regular physical activity - and we want more people across the state to do the same.

There's more to come in the days and weeks ahead. For now, this AP story in the Wilmington Star-News sums it up nicely.
