Each of the women at the Windsor of Bradenton are sporting a pedometer hoping to collectively reach 1,100 miles by New Year's Eve.

  • Residents of Windsor of Bradenton are on the move
  • They're hoping to collectively walk more than a thousand miles by NYE

That's the distance from Florida to New York.

"I like walking in the morning, I do a walk for the building here and one in the afternoon, said Windsor Resident Dorthea Strzelczyk. "Now I’m going to walk more.”

Whether it's a walk down the hall or even taking steps in a wheelchair, the ladies of Windsor are taking this challenge pretty seriously.

"I ask them to go with me walking," said Lucy Iasevoli, also a resident. "They walk a few steps and they say you're walking to fast. I say well stay here then."

The goal is an important one for many of the residents.

"That I can do it, that I can still get up and walk and feel happy here," said Strzelckzyk.

It doesn't matter how long it takes for these, as long as they reach their goal by New Year's Eve, these women are just happy to be on the move.  

To celebrate, the Windsor will be hosting a New Year’s Eve party with a New York City theme.
