FITNESS CHILD: JUMP ROPE & HOOPS FOR HEART!

February is American Heart Month, and I'm participating in the Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart Event at my school on 2/17/17.  You can support me by 3/3/17 or the American Heart Association anytime to help fight heart disease. 

It runs in my family and I want to help children not have to deal with this problem when they get older.  What we eat and drinking a lot of water is important, but also exercise is very important. That's why I'm the Fitness Child!

Stay active, have fun and take care of your heart everyday!

FITNESS CHILD: Don't let asthma stop you!

I like going running with my mom on Saturday mornings, but last summer I started having problems breathing and I couldn't go as long, I had to stop a lot.  My mom took me to the doctor and I have asthma.  The doctor gave me two inhalers, one I use every day and the other one I use before I play sports.

You don't have to let asthma stop you from doing fun activities and staying active. Tell your parents if you have a hard time breathing when you run and let them take you to the doctor to get some help.

I'm still playing basketball, running up and down the court at full speed, making points and blocking shots! Have fun and stay active!
