Going Underground to get on the road to good health!

Annually, the Heritage and Health Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Wellness Medicine, conducts its Health Mission. We go out into the community, with the goal of educating, empowering and motivating interested members of our society in general, and African-Americans specifically, in the message of the components of a healthful lifestyle. This year, we will continue our journey along the historic Underground Railroad, as we “go underground to get on the road to good health”! I will be riding portions of the Ohio leg of the Underground Railroad, mostly using the route planned by the Adventure Cycling Association. If you are interested in following the journey, sign our guestbook at www.thewellmed.com, whereby you opt in to the Grapevine Telegraph, a biweekly ezine summarizing health and wellness news and topics of importance. It is edited by a Registered and Licensed Dietitian, Certified in Adult and Child and Adolescent Weight Management! You can support us with a donation, or purchasing a two-year subscription to The ESPN magazine, for $40. Just visit http://store.thewellmed.com and click new on the left.

As a special gift for your support, you will receive a copy of the 2006 Health Mission, “Rode Down the River”, my trip alone Natchez Trace in Mississippi. See you on the e-road to good health! And by the way, the year is more than half over, you have reached “Halftime”. How are you doing with your health and wellness goals? It’s never too late to start.
