Today April 10, 2009 the Apprentice Challengers received our 4th and final project. This project was given to us by Live WEll Colorado, partnered by Live WEll Westwood, The Colorado Health Foundation, and Kaiser Permanente. The ultimate goal of this project is to prevent obesity. By the year 2017 2/3 of adults will be overweight or obese so we must start young. Our focus will be on the children in the zip code of 80219, which is the Westwood area. By preventing obesity health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, strokes, depression and breast and colon cancer could be prevented. It is now the teams opportunity to advertise the benefits of good health, promote awareness, and educate young children, as well as their parents. Let's end this EPIDEMIC and get started team!
