September 24 is Family Health & Fitness Day!
"The 15th annual Family Health & Fitness Day USA is a national health and fitness event for families, set for Saturday, September 24, 2011. (always on the last Saturday in September.) The event's purpose is to promote family involvement in physical activity, one of the goals of the U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health" (Source: www.fitnessday.com)
This is a great day to get out and get active with the whole family. Some activities you can do as a family include: play in the park or playground, take a walk or hike, ride bikes, fly a kite, or rake (and jump in) leaves!
JFAHELP coaches will be participating in the FAM 5k "Fund" Run/Walk in Cobleskill NY, along with other JFA team members, family, and friends http://www.fam5k.com/. This event benefits 5 organizations to whom the funds are granted on a rotating basis. One of the benefactors is JFA client Schoharie County ARC www.schohariearc.org. We are especially proud to participate in the FAM 5K this year to show our support for this beautiful area that was hit hard by Irene and the subsequent flooding.
The whole Coach T family will be out, as there is a kiddie race beginning at 11 AM! This means that we won't have to stage a mock mini-race in the parking lot of this one as my girl loves to "go for racing". There will also be raffles, a clown, massages, and goodies to refuel after the event. We will be posting live updates and photos to our facebook page www.facebook.com/jfahelp and hope to see some familiar faces out on the course.
Happy Family Health & Fitness Day!!!
