Children's Walk the Talk Challenge
Children's Medical Center 's clinical nutrition team would like to challenge our fellow professionals to a "walk the talk" challenge at the upcoming Dallas Dietetic Association's Fun Run Event. To meet the challenge and win bragging rights, your team needs to have at least 60% participation (running, walking, or volunteering) at the event. Let's "walk the talk" by stepping out of our comfort zone and showing we are active just as we encourage our patients/clients to be. If you would like to enter the challenge, be sure your staff follow these instructions provided by the event organizers read more

Proceeds

This organization is teaming together with philanthropic institutions and corporations to bring physical fitness and wellness resources and programs to address the obesity epidemic affecting the young people of Greater Dallas.
