picture disc.


Cindy Plate, a grants and projects associate at the Eppley Institute, displays her pedometer aboard the cruise ship she and her husband recently traveled the Carribean on in celebration of their 30th anniversary.

Plate surpassed the 2 million step mark during some point of her cruise trip, which included ziplining in Barbados and participating in a Komen Walk for the Cure onboard the ship.
