Code Review
This pull request adds a new blog post about the 'Let's Walk' program. The content is informative. My review includes several suggestions to improve the post. I've pointed out a minor grammatical error and inconsistencies in markdown formatting, such as the use of tabs for list items and unnecessary trailing whitespace. More importantly, I've identified that the relative paths for images in the post are incorrect and will lead to broken images. I've provided suggestions to fix these paths. Addressing these points will improve the quality and correctness of the blog post.

| _Editor’s note: This post was written collectively by the SF Nutrition Equity Opportunity & Physical Activity (SF NEOP) team from the City and County of San Francisco's Department of Public Health. On July 4, 2025, the federal budget reconciliation bill known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed in to law, eliminating all funding for the Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Grant Program (also known as SNAP-Ed, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education) effective October 1, 2025. As a result, the SF NEOP team was disbanded and the Let’s Walk program has been sunsetted. SF Civic Tech would like to thank the SF NEOP team for their vision, leadership, and collaboration alongside all the volunteers who worked on building the technology for the program over the years._ |

There's a small grammatical error here. 'signed in to law' should be 'signed into law'.

For markdown consistency and to ensure correct rendering across all platforms, it's better to use a space after the asterisk for list items instead of a tab character. This suggestion also removes unnecessary trailing whitespace from several lines, which could affect rendering.

| These reflections remind us that Let’s Walk was more than an app or a program—it was a movement powered by community. | ||

This line has trailing spaces which create a hard line break in markdown. This is likely unintentional and can cause formatting issues. It's best to remove them.

@fwextensions I've had this blog post from Danielle about Let's Walk sitting in my TODO list... I figure this could be a good time to post it, and use it to do another donation email blast...
