Mark your calendars! In support of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month this September, Healthy St. Pete is hosting a series of free family fitness and movie nights!

 Childhood obesity has been dubbed “one of the most serious public health challenges of the twenty-first century.” Obesity puts a child at risk for a variety of medical issues later in life, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and joint problems. The purpose of this campaign is to educate the nation on obesity and encourage people to join in efforts to help children overcome this disorder!
