National Youth Obestiy Effort UPDATE!!!

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't gotten you all new info sooner. Things have been insanely hectic for me in this new year!

So things have changed slightly. Due to the different dynamics of cities, we decided that it would be much more feasible for the time frame we had to have each youth council do some sort of activity or other effort to demonstrate its commitment to fighting childhood obesity. The national walk idea was a great idea, but we feel that more cities will participate if we open it up to general activities and efforts. So you can clean up a park, hold a fitness event, install new park equipment, play basketball with a local elementary school, hold a dodgeball tournament, or you can still have a walk to raise awareness of the issue! All ideas are great, and feel free to be creative depending on your city's needs!

Thanks for all your help, looking forward to seeing you all in D.C., and let me know your thoughts!!!
