Mayor Bowser to Lead FitDC Ward 3 Walk

Friday, September 25, 2015

(Washington, DC) – On Saturday, September 26, 2015 at 9 am, Mayor Muriel Bowser along with Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services, Brenda Donald, Director of the DC Department of Health Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt, and Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation Keith Anderson will participate in a 1.5 mile walk around the Chevy Chase neighborhood as part of the FitDC citywide initiative. This effort is part of the Mayor’s commitment to a fresh start in health and wellness in the District of Columbia and aims to encourage residents to live healthier lifestyles by linking them to nutrition and physical fitness resources in their communities, including FitDC coaches who can offer guidance on making healthier lifestyle choices.

Mayor Bowser will also discuss the Billion Steps Challenge, a citywide effort that encourages all DC residents to get more active, eat healthier foods and walk one billion steps. Ten FitDC coaches – one per ward, plus a youth and senior coach – continue to encourage participants in the Billion Steps Challenge to take control of their own health by moving more and making healthier choices.
