Walker of the Month April 2019

Jo Anne Ferguson is our walker for April!! She is 68 years young, widowed with a stepdaughter who lives in Fort Smith, Arkansas. She moved to Lake Havasu a year ago from Lake Tenkiller, Oklahoma, where she lived for 18 years. Prior to Oklahoma she lived in California, but is a naturalized citizen from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She retired in 2013 and did accounting for several companies including Hyundai Motor Company and AseraCare Hospice.

Jo Anne loves the outdoors, walking and enjoying the energy that regular exercise brings her. Walking has been a great way to make friends and she’s met some very nice people who enjoy the same activities she does. She exercises 3-4 times a week for just over 2 hours a day. Great job!!

Jo Anne takes a brisk 3 mile walk in Rotary Park and the channel, combined with a step aerobics class at a local gym. She has a problem with a knee from an ACL injury but has been able to avoid a knee replacement by keeping fit and strengthening the muscles around her knee.

Jo Anne says exercising is great way to meet people and do something good for yourself!! So let’s all do something good for ourselves and “Get On Your Feet”!!
