Health Dept. Invites Public to Let’s Move Day

The Department of Health, in partnership with the Bermuda conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Lindo’s, and Rubis is inviting members of the public to join them on Let’s Move Day, Sunday, September 23rd.

The goal of “Let’s Move Day” is to get as many people as possible involved in physical activity on that day. This event will create community awareness for childhood obesity. All groups, schools and organizations are invited to participate as we move together and promote healthy lifestyles.

The activity goal is to generate 10,000 miles island-wide on that day. Why? Because physical activity is one of the essential keys to health, healing and wholeness. It is the Department of Health’s hope that this day’s activities will become the spark that gets significantly more Bermudians engaged in regular physical activity.

Members of the public can participate through 1 of 3 options:

1. Join the Walking Club at Chaplin Bay starting at 7:00 am (www.walkfree.bm)

2. Participate in 1 of 2 routes starting at 3:00 pm. (There is a registration fee of $10 and the first 500 registered receive a t-shirt)
