Demand Healthy Week

Demand Healthy Week
It’s Time to Make Healthy the Norm in Texas

Texans across the state can show their support for healthy living by participating in ACTIVE Life’s first-ever “Demand Healthy Week” during the first week in May (May 2-8). All you have to do is create and share “Moments of Health” – such as organizing a walk or bike ride with friends, preparing a healthy meal or participating in a clean-up day in your community.

It’s easy and simple to show your support for a healthy, active Texas. Just sign up for FREE at www.DemandHealthyWeek.org <http://www.demandhealthyweek.org/> to find information and ideas for “Moments of Health” and to learn about public Moments in the community.
