Today we're going to talk about how walking is helping Pamela as she battles cancer.

Welcome to walking is fitness. This is a podcast of action, providing a little extra motivation to help you keep that fitness promise you made to yourself.

Hi, I'm Dave. I've been walking for fitness since 2013, averaging about 21,000 steps a day.

I am walking right now and would love to have you join me for the next 10 minutes or so.

A beautiful summer morning in South Carolina. We've got blue sky. We have heat. We have

humidity. I think I saw the forecast where the heat index is going to reach the upper 90s,

maybe near 100 later this afternoon.

So nothing unusual for this part of the world.

But I'm enjoying the cooler temperatures as I walk early in the morning.

I hope you are enjoying the weather where you are.

Thanks for joining me today for another 10-minute walk.

Recently got an email from Pamela who lives in Texas on a farm, honey farm.

West of Austin, Pamela wrote to tell me that she recently, May 24th, in fact, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

And she walks every day, five miles, 10,000 steps.

She listens to a bunch of podcasts during her walk, but wanted me to know that the first one she

listens to every day is walking is fitness. Pamela, thank you.

Appreciate that.

I responded to her email thanking her and also asked if she would be willing to let me share

her story.

And if so, what impact is these daily walks having on her during this season of treatment for cancer?

Pamela responded.

She told me that her cancer has been diagnosed stage two, specifically her to breast cancer.
