Get Fit Great Kids Marathon

The NCMS Alliance and Wake County Medical Society Alliance are co-sponsoring the 2011 Get Fit Great Kids Marathon project this fall at Wake Forest Elementary School. The Get Fit Great Kids Marathon provides a great opportunity for kids to participate in a fun and healthy challenge and learn the importance of increased physical activity and nutrition in improving health. The project features a "marathon" challenge for students to log 26.2 miles of running/walking during the two month program.  Children completing the challenge will receive a special Get Fit Great Kids medal following the Get Fit NC race on December 3.   

Thank you to our Get Fit Great Kids Marathon Sponsors!



 

 

 

2011 Bid for Better Health
The NCMS Alliance would like to thank all the wonderful donors and bidders that helped to make the 2011 Bid for Better Health a success!  

Proceeds from the auction support Alliance health promotion projects and local grants throughout the state including upcoming projects focusing improving physical fitness, good nutrition, teen health literacy and other health-related projects benefiting North Carolina communities.

 

With support from the North Carolina Medical Society, the NCMS Alliance has developed a portion control placemat to help raise awareness about the critical role portion control plays in improving health.  The placemat is intended to provide a user-friendly resource and guidance on serving sizes  for each food group.
