You're Invited to Give Input on the Office of the Surgeon General's
Future Call to Action on Walking
Comment now at everybodywalk.org/takeaction
Walking is the key to a stronger, healthier America. For families, walking to and from school and in daily life is a great way to spend time together and create healthy, active lifestyles for our kids. As the walking movement continues to gain momentum in 2013, you have the chance to help guide the national agenda around getting more people walking and building walkable communities.
Until April 30, the US Surgeon General is looking for feedback from the public on what should be included in a future call to action around walking. Please join the Safe Routes to School National Partnership in responding!
