Model Talk
I had known I was going to take better care of myself this year. When I heard about 'Follow the Fifty' I knew the changes I had been wanting to make were gonna happen. I just did not have a starting point. Last week I went back to the gym in Thompson CT. I am motivated for change. This week my diet starts to change...no processed foods.

This is a perfect example of how one grant can have substantial impact in so many areas. By training so many models in CPR/AED use, we have the opportunity to have at least four other towns become eligible for HeartSafe certification. It’s a fantastic way to enhance the work we are doing in so many areas and a great benefit to our towns.

I’ve already been trying to improve my health on my own, adopting the philosophy to 'shake less by moving more.' Follow the Fifty gives me the perfect opportunity to meet my goals of engaging in healthy behaviors with other women, and empowering each other to live a long, healthy and happy life.
