Jefferson County is on the Move to Lose!

The Jefferson County Department of Health (Birmingham, AL) has partnered with several nonprofit organizations to implement a new initiative - Champions for Health.   This coalition is working to bring resources to residents of Jefferson County to encourage physical activity, reduce obesity, expand food access, advance smoke-free policies, reduce tobacco use and improve the overall health of its citizenry.  And speaking of moving, the CFH is promoting exercise and physical activity through its October Walking Challenge.  The challenge is pin conjunction with Blue Cross Blue Shields' Walking Works.  The BCBS program is nationwide so anyone can take part.  I took the challenge today and completed my first miles (3.24 miles).
