Hardrock Family Walking Club

Abstract

We would like to present the “Hardrock Family Walking Club” for funding consideration from TC4C Community-Based Partnership Project for the amount of $10,000.00. The walking program will begin July 7, 2008 and end September 14, 2008. Participants will be encouraged to walk 1-mile per day and a community walking day will be scheduled bi-weekly in different parts of the community. Each site’s activities will include a presentation of Native food prepared by the host, a 1-mile/2 mile walk or run, and a 20 minute reading of the book, “You, on a diet” by Dr. Oz. Following each session we would like to have a discussion among the group on the activities and readings that were presented for the day. Finally, we will be using Global Positioning Systems (GPS), as a scavenger hunt tool to create support systems through cooperative games. The program will be free of charge and open to anyone from birth to the elderly.
