(Special to The <br />Herald-Sun/Orange County Health Department) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CHAPEL HILL — <br />Step by step, staff members at the Orange County Health Department are inching closer to their goal of <br />“walking” to California. <br />They’re doing it without leaving North Carolina, tracking every inch they walk from the time they awaken <br />until bedtime. <br />It’s part of an eight-week “cross-country” walking challenge designed to highlight the importance of <br />physical activity. <br />The challenge involves about 20 staff members who plan to walk a total of 3,000 miles — the distance to <br />that “other” Orange County — the one in California.
