"Hello my name is Aimee and I care for patients at Saint Francis Hospice.

"Did you know that a hospice nurse walks 12,000 steps on an average shift? That's around 5 miles every shift!

"This spring Im challenging you to step into a nurse's shoes by walking 12,000 steps every day in March.

"By taking on this challenge you can help bring love and care to all local people who need hospice care. Do something amazing today, Step up for Hospice Nurses."
