Youth Health & Fitness 

"The youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity."
--Benjamin Disraeli

This site is under construction but will be the most important section on my website.  The youth of America are in danger.  They are overweight, obese, and unfit to take this nation into the next millennium.  We are killing our children with fast food and lack of physical activity.  Check back to find out how YOU can help get our kids more fit and healthy...before it's too late!

Fast Food Indulgence & Lack of Activity=Unhealthy Bodies
So Let's Get Moving!

"Child obesity is child abuse."

"We must live our lives in such a way that our children, and their children after them,
will form a natural and lasting commitment to the vigorous life. 
Only in this way can we be assured that the spirit and strength of American will be constantly replenished."
