Join Ohio Valley Parish
Nursing in support of the Wheeling Walks Project.
YOU – YOUR FAMILY – YOUR
CHURCH GROUP – YOUR ORGANIZATION –
The next 8 weeks could change
your entire life. OVPN has
been promoting their W (water) W
(walk) P (pray) program for the last 18 months with in the
community. The results have spoken for themselves. Now join with Wheeling
and let the country know that you value your mind / body & soul by
walking 30 minutes or more each day. The data that is collected will go
to West Virginia University for evaluation and is being funded by The
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Grant WVU received for this project. OVPN
will be logging data that you submit to OVPN on the OVPN website under
special events for those participating outside the Wheeling area that is
being targeted for this project. OVPN will then submit weekly reports to
the Wheeling Walks campaign to be added into their total count of
minutes walked. You can watch the OVPN website to see how your group is
doing every week along with the other OVPN participants. A WORD OF
CAUTION (if you register with the Wheeling Walks program directly please
log your minutes with them) we do not want to duplicate the minutes.
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU REGISTER AND WALK AND REPORT. You can
go to the Wheeling Walks website and locate the events that are planned
for the Wheeling area and you are encouraged to attend any of these that
you can. If your group plans a local event just let me know and I will
get the word out for local participants to join you. Maybe you would
like a challenge from one group to another? That can also be arranged.
The information that will be
needed to Participate with OVPN can all be done via email and you can
turn your written entry forms in to Diane to take to Wheeling campaign
office on a weekly or monthly basis. (As needed)
If you have occasion to have a Doctors visit during this 8 weeks
please ask your Doctor for a Walking script and turn it in for extra
minutes. You are asked to walk for 10 minutes 3 times a day, if you can
not walk everyday then as often as you can; if you can not do the 10
minutes then any minute will count. Keep track and turn in each and
every minute. TO PARTICIPATE YOUR SELF email diane@ovpn.org
TO REGISTER YOUR FAMILY OR
GROUP email diane@ovpn.org
TO REGISTER YOUR CHURCH GROUP
email diane@ovpn.org
OVPN will email you back the
registration forms and daily logs and instructions for logging your data
for the OVPN count and Wheeling Walks Campaign.

CAMPAIGN (WHEELING AREA) go to www.wheelingwalks.org
OVPN is not receiving funding
from or for this project and will continue to provide the OVPN coverage
area with wellness programs and projects as you have been accustom to in
the past with the OVPN program running on a free will offering basis and
volunteers from the OVPN coverage area.
If you know of someone who would like to
be on the OVPN mailing list, please let us know.
Our website (www.ovpn.org)
current events section will give full details of up coming programs as
they become known to us, so please keep us informed of the programs your
