Healthy Strides is back again for its third
year. Healthy Strides is a community initiative that gives the residents of the
Ken-Ton community an opportunity to improve their health -- and we need your
help!
Last year, Healthy Strides providers organized and ran seventy-four different
programs offered by Kenmore Mercy Hospital, Town of Tonawanda Department
of Youth, Parks and Recreation, Roswell Park Hospital, and many other churches
and organizations. Programs included walking and exercise groups, healthy
cooking classes, dance classes, smoking cessation workshop, coping with
diabetes, back care, meditation and stress reduction, and many more. Local
restaurants participated by offering healthy choices on their menus. More than
500 people participated, and more than 250 completed at least 12 activities in the
six-week period and became eligible to win prizes. This year we want to expand
those numbers!!! And with your help, we can!
We are proud to announce that this year Univera Healthcare will be a major
sponsor of our Healthy Strides activities. Their commitment to the prevention of
chronic health concerns such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer and
stroke by encouraging people to live a more healthy and active lifestyle will help
make this the most successful year yet. To accomplish our goals we need your
help!
