You can find out how your kids can live a healthier lifestyle with a free community session at the Door County YMCA Kane Center in Fish Creek later this month. On Saturday, September 23, the Door County YMCA will be hosting a Childhood Obesity Awareness pop-up event to educate youngsters from the age of eight to 17. Door County YMCA Healthy Living Coordinator Bailey Cox encourages parents to register with their children for the program. She shares the importance of sharing good habits when it comes to dealing with obesity for all ages.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 14.7 million children and adolescents are affected by obesity, which represents almost one-fifth of all kids. The Childhood Obesity Awareness event at the Door County YMCA will be from 10:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 23.
