Each participant chooses from one of four predetermined challenges which are based on distance or frequency.  
Individuals who complete the challenge receive raffle prize entries for themselves and their Council on Aging.  
 
Individual prizes include gift cards of Visa ($50), Amazon ($25) and Dunkin’ ($10).  
Councils on Aging prize levels range $250-1,000!  
 
An annual program run by the Massachusetts Councils on Aging (MCOA), the Walk Massachusetts challenge returns with a major improvement this year: Originally designed for adults aged 60 and above, Walk Massachusetts is now an intergenerational initiative.  
 
Anyone aged 5-59 years old is encouraged to participate by walking and sponsoring an older adult of their choice! “Having a classroom of 5th grade children sponsoring older adults, strengthens ties within the community, improves one’s health and may be a catalyst for additional intergenerational learning” said Lynn Wolf, MCOA’s Communications Manager.
