-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
DID YOU KNOW THAT JUST 30 MINUTES OF WALKING, PER DAY, CAN HELP REDUCE
YOUR RISK OF CANCER, HEART-DISEASE, AND DIABETES? MOST PEOPLE KNOW
THAT WALKING IS GOOD FOR THEM. BUT, AS AMERICA FACES AN
OBESITY-RELATED HEALTH-CRISIS, COMPANIES LIKE WALGREENS
ARE RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT ITS HEALTH-BENEFITS. LAST YEAR, IT
LAUNCHED A FREE, NATIONAL WALKING-PROGRAM, CALLED "WALK WITH
WALGREENS"--THROUGH WHICH MORE THAN FOUR-BILLION STEPS WERE
LOGGED. AND, THIS WEEK [THE WEEK OF APRIL 2ND], IT TEAMED
UP WITH DONALD TRUMP AND "THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE®",
TO PROMOTE MORE HEALTHY-STEPS IN 2012...
(TRUMP):
"WHAT I LOVED
ABOUT THIS WEEK'S EPISODE WAS HOW WE TASKED OUR CELEBRITIES TO USE THEIR
CREATIVITY FOR A PROGRAM THAN CAN HELP PEOPLE, THROUGHOUT THE UNITED
STATES, BETTER THEIR HEALTH. AND, THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT
THAN THAT. NO MATTER HOW HECTIC YOUR SCHEDULE MAY BE, WALKING IS A
GREAT WAY TO STAY HEALTHY: IT'S QUICK, AND IT'S EASY. AND,
FOR NEW-YORKERS LIKE ME, IT'S A PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE. IT'S
GRATIFYING TO SEE COMPANIES LIKE WALGREENS RAISING AWARENESS AROUND THE
HEALTH-BENEFITS OF WALKING. AND, I HOPE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE
PARTICIPATING--ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS AND BETTER HEALTH."
(CLOSE):
THE PROGRAM ALSO OFFERS COUPONS AND OTHER SAVINGS TO ITS MEMBERS. TO

THIS WEEK, ANOTHER NATIONAL MOVEMENT ENCOURAGES US TO GET OUT AND WALK:
IT'S "NATIONAL START WALKING DAY", ON APRIL 4TH.
