Walking is important for Fort Wayne lifestyle. How often do you think about walking? How often are you grateful for the ability to put one foot in front of the other? Most Fort Wayne folks don’t give walking a second thought until we or a Fort Wayne loved one can’t do it or is not able do it as easily as we once did.
