WONDERMENT; a state of awed admiration or respect.
This single word exemplifies how we feel about the humanity of this Community!
So many of you have responded to the Panda #stepsforbeth call to action panda posted a few days ago in support of @BethCrook . Thank you Community Panda, and thank you Community, you got our attention! In response, we’d like to, well, step up this challenge. We looked at your average steps this past three days and It could be a leap, but we think you could collectively acquire 6 Million (dramatic pause) steps in 31 days!
If you collectively make over 6 Million (another dramatic pause) steps over the 31 day challenge, Instructure will commit to providing a physical therapy machine that Beth has chosen to help her in her next steps of recovery!
There are still spaces available in the step challenge, so tell one and all, and, in the spirit of InstructureCarn, step right up!
Oh my gosh! I'd better go around the block again!
This. This is what makes all of the difference. This is a true community. Now excuse me while I go walk around for a little bit.
*Sniff* This is the coolest thing ever. I was pretty hardcore with the challenge last week, and was thinking last night "Yeah, there's no way I can sustain that level of step activity". But for this? I'm gonna try.
OMG! This is amazing!
Thank you, Instructure, for committing to help our Panda Friend!

Saturday morning, just a bit after 6am I'm in the car on the way to Baltimore for my weekly 3hr physical therapy and checked email and saw a ton of "you've been mentioned in a tweet" and got a little worried. Then I started reading them and told my mom "What in the world is going on?" and I jumped over to this new blog, and I was speechless. Literally no words. And I still can't come up with anything worthy of just how blown away I am. I feel like most people are probably just rolling their eyes with "yeah, yeah, it's been a year of this, just recover already." But you all have made me realize the complete opposite. I still have support. And I still have a cheering squad. And your support is actually pushing me that much harder to move.
I cannot wait to see and meet (in person) each and every one of you!!
Can't wait to meet you in person as well!
Well I goofed and severely underestimated all of you! On day 10 of a 31 day journey you've all stepped 3,255,045. I can't wait to see what you do this weekend! Keep up the #stepsforbeth
That's amazing! And now, if you'll excuse me...
This is a bit what PT looks like. Actually, I lied. This is what my husband does every night trying to get me upstairs to bed. "5 more babe, give me 5 more...4 to go...don't you give up on me now!"
6,186,546 steps
This is what you all have reached, as of yesterday! We'll be ordering the physical therapy machine soon!
When the 6 million step goal was set we were confident reaching it would be a stretch. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised! Looks like it's time for a secondary goal! Twelve million would be just too easy - so let's up our game and shoot for 15 million! If (or I should probably say when) you hit 15 million we'll have a small celebratory surprise for all steppers!
@Renee_Carney , WHAT?! WHAT?! That is amazing!!!!!!!!!
One "LIKE" isn't expressing my feelings!
Then, by all means, express it in a gif!!! I love gifs
I missed the 6 million mark...but I'm going to help us reach 15 million now...downloading Google Fit right now!
This is what I get for shutting down to eat my lunch tech-free. Holy moly!!!
Here I go to help get you to the 15K, my friends!! Taking an extra lap down the hall and back this afternoon! And if my foot can handle it, I will even try to walk out to the car at the end of the day. I've been able to do it in the mornings, but not afternoons. Today, I will try for EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU that got me to 6m!
Out of curiosity, do any of you Steppers also play Pokemon Go? (Or as it was called in 2016 "Panda-mon Go")
Asking for a friend. Actually, asking FOR friends. 0099-1899-3761
Great idea. Request sent. If anyone else wants to earn Pokemon candy and treat while we Step for Beth, my trainer code is 6779 6415 4699
Wow how I hate I didn’t see this earlier to join the challenge and fun. Yet excited about the goal reached. Way to go all and congrats Beth. Hope to see you this week.
I think you can still join. We're stepping all through InstructureCon!
Should I email someone to join? I added the app and ready to step. Thanks for responding.

Yes, you have to contact @Renee_Carney or the Community team - the deets are over at https://community.canvaslms.com/community/instcon/instructurecon-2018/blog/2018/06/26/panda-stepsfor...
Thanks for your help.
Hi There,
Pls send email so community@instructure.com
Hey @scottdennis - I know you guys are just a teeny bit busy now, so is it okay to keep promoting this? I suspect a lot of people are just noticing it as they head for InstCon, and I was going to tweet about it again, but I don't want to make the Community team crazy
Absolutely! We are collectively through 12 million of our 15 million step goal - promote the heck out of it!
You sure can. Just might take me a little longer to add them than normal, since I’m mostly on my phone at InstCon!
If you #stepforbeth, let's gather Thursday (that's today already!) at 12:00pm in front of Decatur field, which is where the lunch tent is. We'll gather and get a group pic! (remote friends, post a pic of what you're doing around this time).
Great picture Renee and Beth, and it's awesome to see you here Beth!
We have our final count!
31 days
83 steppers
16,018,454 steps
Infinite encouragement, inspiration, hugs, and love for Beth
Unmeasurable & Unforgettable inspiration for us all!
