Empowering Every Beat. Strengthening Every Step.

Step with me.

Three years ago, stroke survivor Leroy McClure Jr. was confined to a wheelchair… doctors weren’t sure he’d walk again.

But he believed. Step by step…

Leroy walked 10 million steps. Now, he’s challenging you to join the 30-Day Step Challenge, May 1st to 30th — for your health, your healing, your hope. If I can do it, so can you. Let’s take these steps—together.
