Nursing Miles Hit 50

Photo: (12/2/11) Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) first-year Nursing students, Jennifer Sackett-Vieira (Plymouth-left), and Kelly Newcomb (Ashland-right), hit the 50-mile mark during their walk today. The ladies, along with 22 other LRCC Nursing students, have checked their ½ -mile distances on a class calendar since the beginning of the semester based upon measured walks around the campus on Prescott Hill.

"As Nursing students, it only seems fitting to become leaders in fitness and health in America," says LRCC Nursing Professor, Debbie Brady (Gilford-not pictured). "I thought it would be a great idea to see if students could hit 30 miles total during class breaks by the end of the fall semester, and wouldn't you know it, the class took the idea and 'walked' with it, hitting 50 miles two weeks before the end of the semester. I am proud of the Class of 2013 for their energetic enthusiasm!"
