I had a great meeting with the American Heart Association recently. I am passionate about my platform, a healthier family lifestyle, and the AHA has a focus on this as well. We discussed one of the casuses known as Alliance for A Healthier Generation, which I have referenced for many years in my presentations and community involvement. This sub-cause of the AHA emphasizes all of the same points I reference, such as getting plenty of fruits and vegetables and at least an hour of physical activity daily for children. It is already a great partnership! I am putting together a team for the Heart Walk in September 2009 and I will also be the chair for the Special Appeals committee for the upcoming Heart Ball. This committee will raise funds to go to a specific cause. Stay tuned for updates on funds raised and the decision on the "special cause".
