The challenge came with an ambitious goal: **1,682 combined miles**, representing the journey from Nebraska to the Life Chiropractic College West campus in Hayward, California. While we didn’t quite make it all the way to Hayward, our faculty and staff still logged an impressive **925 combined miles!** That distance took us across Nebraska, through Wyoming and the Rocky Mountains, and **nearly all the way to Salt Lake City, Utah**. Faculty and staff found creative ways to add movement throughout their days. Some used quick breaks between classes and meetings to get in extra steps, while others made walking part of their daily routines. Participants tracked their progress using pedometers provided for the challenge, smartwatches, and other activity trackers. By the end of August, our team had completed approximately **55% of the 1,682-mile goal**. More importantly, the challenge encouraged our faculty and staff to step away from their desks, get moving, and make physical activity part of the workday. - ![Image_20260911_163620_223](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_20260911_163620_223.jpeg?width=3672&height=4896&name=Image_20260911_163620_223.jpeg) Hover message - ![Image_20260911_163620_039](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_20260911_163620_039.jpeg?width=2316&height=3088&name=Image_20260911_163620_039.jpeg) Hover message - ![Image_20260911_163620_576](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_20260911_163620_576.jpeg?width=4284&height=5712&name=Image_20260911_163620_576.jpeg) Hover message - ![Image_20260911_163620_271](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_20260911_163620_271.jpeg?width=2316&height=3088&name=Image_20260911_163620_271.jpeg) Hover message   Although Hayward remained a little farther down the road, **925 miles is an accomplishment worth celebrating**. Together, our faculty and staff virtually traveled from Nebraska to nearly Salt Lake City—one step at a time. **Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated in the August Walk to Hayward Challenge! Maybe next time, we’ll make it all the way to California!** Stay Updated ## Other Recent Updates from The VOICE [![](https://voice.lifewest.edu/hubfs/Founders%20Day%20Graphic%2026.png)](https://voice.lifewest.edu/founders-day-is-this-friday) [Events and Activities](https://voice.lifewest.edu/tag/events-and-activities), [Bellevue Campus](https://voice.lifewest.edu/tag/bellevue-campus), [Hayward Campus](https://voice.lifewest.edu/tag/hayward-campus) ### [🎉 Founders Day is This Friday!](https://voice.lifewest.edu/founders-day-is-this-friday) September 14, 2026 This Friday, September 18, we’re celebrating Life West Founders Day at both our Hayward and Nebraska campuses!
