Living healthy and free of disease makes a critical difference in quality of life. But in Detroit area neighborhoods just miles apart, life expectancy can vary 13 years. That's why we are working to raise awareness about the vital effect lifestyle has on health, especially poor nutrition and inactivity, and to help children form healthy habits that will last a lifetime by removing obstacles to making healthy choices.
