Aurora and the National Walk Day for Health

Our City of Aurora staff members participated in the Blue Cross Blue Shield National Walk Day for Health. We took a walk during our lunch break, and walking is a great way to keep your body burning calories. That's not the only benefit of walking- increased blood circulation also helps your brain function better, too! Take walks about Aurora on your lunch break, and we'll see you out and about.

Keep on walkin',
