Active Southern West Virginia takes great pride in its Community Captains. We strongly believe that without them our mission would be impossible. They are dedicated to making their communities a happier, healthier, and an altogether brighter place to live. We are forever grateful for their service and passion for creating free opportunities for their community members to participate in. This month we are are highlighting Prosperity Community Captain Levi Moore to both show appreciation for his service and to showcase a little bit of his story. We hope it will resonate with some of our readers and motivate them to start their journey toward a healthy and active lifestyle change.
Levi became physically active for the first time in 2015 in an effort to be able to walk and leave the wheelchair he had to use for 2 years. He began walking again in 2015 and has decided that he will begin walking 5Ks in 2016.
He says, “My motivation for becoming a community captain was how I was feeling when I did things physical. Every day, every week I was feeling better and better in myself and about myself and I knew that this feeling could be had by other people as well. And instead of waiting for someone to start something in my community I decided to be the one who started it.”
Levi leads the Prosperity Morning Mile Walking Group every Saturday at 9am at the Dry-Hill Prosperity Park. Anyone is welcome (especially beginners) to join the group at any time and encouraged to bring a friend! Keep up with the Active Southern West Virginia Bulletin Board Facebook group for updates/cancellations and like Levi’s Prosperity Morning Mile and More Facebook page to stay more directly connected with him and his group.
You can also stay connected with us by liking our main Facebook page Active Southern West Virginia, keeping up with our Events Calendar at activeswv.org, and following us on Twitter & Instagram (@activeswv).
