We are turning the Titanic!

It’s going to take all of us to turn this ship around, and guess what, we’re doing it! We are changing the direction of children’s health and navigating the icebergs. We are doing it because our children are worth it and they deserve the gift of health.

Kids deserve a promising future free of catastrophic health conditions due to childhood obesity. This is not something they are born with, folks. It is due to lifestyle choices and habits they are developing for a lifetime. So let’s make sure they are healthy choices and healthy habits!!

It does not happen overnight, however, we can do this for our kids. There are many dedicated, brilliant people committed to this goal. Lisa and I had the pleasure of meeting with several of them on our trip to the West Coast and back last week. The creativity and passion for children’s health shared by so many is, in part, what fuels our efforts and strengthens our commitment. The end goal of healthier, happier kids takes us the rest of the way!

Parents, friends, communities, schools, it is truly up to all of us to get this right for all our kids. It is their lives, their future and it is our responsibility to do this, and the time is now. So, let’s get with the program!
