Mass
in Motion Fall River has begun twice-weekly indoor walks at the Kuss
Middle School as part of it's efforts to promote walking throughout Fall
River. The walks were created as part of the new "1422
Project" funded by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health designed to improve opportunities for
physical activity and to help people at risk for diabetes and high blood
pressure to become more active. The walks are held in conjunction with the
Greater Fall River Fitness Challenge and the Parent Academy and are free
to anyone in the City who would like to get more exercise during the cold
winter months. The weekly group is organized by Senior
Champions Kathy Lowney and Kathy Duclos with the assistance of SSTAR
Community Prevention Coordinator Eric Andrade. There is not charge to join
the group, and registration is not necessary. For more information about
walking resources in the City, to to WalkFallRiver.org
or the WalkFallRiver
Facebook page. Click
