Just in from the Ohio Department of Health ....

Greetings!

The second annual 2006 Healthy Ohioans Fitness Walk is just around the corner! Wednesday, May 17th in communities all across the state, Ohioans will walk one mile for better health. Healthy Ohioans, in conjunction with the Governor’s Advisory Council on Physical Fitness, Wellness and Sports, is encouraging individuals, schools, communities, businesses and civic organizations to walk one mile at 12:00 Noon that day in recognition of National Employee Health and Fitness Day.

If Noon is not convenient, any time the week of May 14 – 20 is suggested. To register, go to www.healthyohioans.org And, don’t forget to re-visit the website after your walk to report the number of walkers and miles walked because this year, we’ll have a random drawing of those registered and reporting their results. Fifteen lucky groups will each receive 100 Healthy Ohioans pedometers! Remember, small steps lead to big strides in becoming a Healthier Ohioan!
