Transform your health from stuck and stagnant to easy and energized in just 30 days by walking more this April than you did in all of 2025 with...
THE MOMENTUM CHALLENGE
The First Annual Heishman Healing Foundation Virtual Walk-A-Thon: 30 Days of Health Education, Inspiring Community, and Amazing Prizes Every Week — all for just $10.
April 1–30, 2026 · Virtual · Open to Everyone
The idea came to me while I was walking…
I was out on a walk (I always do my best thinking while walking) brainstorming how to help my patients add more movement into their lives without it feeling like a chore.
And I just kept coming back to one thought:
"Why is movement the first thing to fall off when life gets hard? It's the simplest thing. It's free. It's the most fun. And nothing creates momentum faster — literally."
Then a second thought hit me. One of those shower-thought ideas that feels too simple to be brilliant, but is.
💭 "What if we walked together?"
Not in the same place. But together… across cities, across states, across the country… united by a single mission: to take back our health, one step at a time.
I posted the idea online. The response was instant. Friends, patients, and total strangers said: "I'm in."
And just like that, The Momentum Challenge was born.
Here's the vision that gave me chills:
There are approximately 5 miles in 10,000 steps.
If just 67 people walk 10,000 steps a day for 30 days together, we will collectively walk 10,000 miles.
But wait….
How big is the EARTH?!
🌍 The Earth is approximately 25,000 miles around 🌍
What if we walked around the world this April?
That's what's possible when a community moves together. Not just for a number on a smartwatch but for their health, their families, and for every person the Heishman Healing Foundation can reach with natural medicine.
Every step you take funds education.
Every step you take funds access.
Every step you take matters.
WHO THIS IS FOR

WHO THIS IS FOR 〰️
The Momentum Challenge is perfect for you if…
✅ You've been meaning to move more but life keeps getting in the way (and you need a community and a reason to actually do it).
✅ You're curious about natural medicine and disease prevention but don't know where to start and you want real, doctor-led education delivered in bite-size daily lessons.
✅ You want to do something good for yourself and something bigger than yourself (this $10 will be the easiest yes you've said all year).
✅ You're one of my existing patients and you want more daily support, accountability, and community between our appointments.
✅ You're a friend, family member, or supporter of the Heishman Healing Foundation and you want to see this mission grow.
✅ You're a complete beginner. You don't need to be fit. You don't need gear. You just need to be willing to move.
“Every step counts. A walk around the block counts. A lap around your office counts. We meet you exactly where you are.”
WHAT YOU GET
Here's everything included in your $10 entry:
🚶 30 Days of Daily Health Education Every single day of April, Dr. Hailey will go live to share a health lesson on disease prevention, the science of walking, and the power of natural medicine. Watch or listen anywhere with lessons delivered straight to your phone. Miss a live? Every session is recorded.
📚 Daily Lessons Include Topics Like:
Why walking is the most underrated prescription in medicine
How to reduce inflammation naturally through movement
Simple habits that protect your heart, brain, and hormones
What naturopathic medicine is and why it works
How to build sustainable health momentum that lasts beyond 30 days
🏆 Weekly Prizes Every 7 days, prizes are awarded to participants who are showing up, logging steps, and engaging with the community. Prizes include masterclasses, cash prizes, and services donated by local and national health and wellness practitioners.
🥇 The Grand Prize: A Vital Health Care Plan with Dr. Hailey The participant who walks the most total steps over 30 days wins 3 months of personalized naturopathic care with Dr. Hailey Heishman, ND (valued at $1,497, completely free).
👥 A Private Facebook Community Connect with other participants, share your wins, post your step counts, cheer each other on, and earn bonus points for engaging, sharing, and inviting friends.
📋 Weekly Check-In Forms Every 7 days you'll receive a simple Google Form to log your steps and share what you're noticing in your body and your energy. These are your milestones and your entries for prizes.
Why $10? And where does it go?
The Heishman Healing Foundation exists for one reason:
To make natural medicine accessible to everyone — not just those who can afford it.
Right now, naturopathic medicine is out of reach for millions of families. It's not covered by most insurance plans. It's not offered through conventional care models. And the people who need it most (like families facing financial hardship or limitations) are the ones least likely to ever hear about it.
This challenge changes that.
Your $10 entry fee goes directly toward the Foundation's mission: education, outreach, and expanding access to natural healing for underserved families.
And beyond the donation itself…you becoming healthier is the mission.
When you walk more, sleep better, reduce stress, and start learning about your body, you become living proof of what's possible.
That is the Foundation's greatest asset.

The Doctor Behind the Mission
Dr. Hailey Heishman is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and the founder of the Heishman Healing Foundation.
She built her practice on a simple but radical belief: your body already knows how to heal it just needs the right tools, the right education, and the right support.
After years of working with patients navigating chronic illness, fatigue, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, and disease prevention, she saw the same pattern over and over again: the people who transformed their health weren't the ones with the most expensive treatments. They were the ones who understood their bodies and made small, consistent daily choices.
Walking is always at the top of that list.
The Momentum Challenge is her way of bringing that daily education (the same guidance she gives her 1:1 patients) to as many people as possible, at a price point that removes every barrier.
“I became a naturopathic doctor because I believe prevention is the most powerful medicine. This challenge is my way of proving that you don’t need a complicated protocol or a big budget to start changing your health today. You just need to start moving.

Your Questions, Answered
-
Absolutely not. The challenge is designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you're walking 500 steps a day or already hitting 8,000 — this is for you. Every step counts toward the collective goal, and the community will cheer you on regardless of where you start.
-
Any movement counts! Walking, hiking, using a treadmill, pacing around your home. You can use any step-tracking device or app (phone health apps, Fitbit, Oura ring, Apple Watch, Garmin, etc.) or simply estimate (it takes about 20-25 minutes to walk 1 mile and there are about 2,200 steps in 1 mile; you’ll get more guidance on this in the challenge). We're working on the honor system and the spirit of the challenge here.
-
The challenge kicks off April 1, 2026. As soon as you register, you'll receive a welcome email with a link to the private Facebook group and telegram channel and instructions for everything. We recommend joining the group right away and introducing yourself!
If you don’t have Facebook you can still participate. The daily lessons will be delivered on Telegram.
-
Life happens. Missing a day doesn't disqualify you it just means you might have fewer total steps logged for the grand prize (it’s okay, there are bonus point opportunities too). Show up as many days as you can. Even 15 out of 30 days of walking and learning will change something in you.
-
Every 7 days, you'll receive a simple Google Form where you report how many days you walked, your approximate step count, and what you're noticing. This also serves as your entry for weekly prizes.
-
Prizes include Dr. Hailey's masterclasses, cash prizes, and donated services from health and wellness practitioners. We'll reveal some prizes in advance and keep some as surprise bonuses throughout the challenge. Every week is a new opportunity to win.
-
The participant with the highest total step count at the end of 30 days wins a Vital Health Care Plan with Dr. Hailey. This is 3 months of personalized naturopathic care valued at $1,497 for FREE!
-
Please do! Sharing the challenge with friends and family earns you bonus points toward prizes and every new participant gets us closer to our collective goal of walking around the world together.
-
I hope they do! Everyone in your household is welcome to join the challenge with you but if they want to win prizes they need to sign up and participate separately.
When you sign up you’ll receive a complimentary “Family Steps Tracker” print out for you and your family to print off and post on the fridge to encourage some friendly competition ;)
