Gael Thomson's Story
Please join me in the fundraising effort for this organization by helping me raise my part of $25,000. My department is personally impacted by the dollars we raise. ACT, actively changing together is our response to childhood obesity prevention. We offer support for the entire family over the course of 12 weeks. My own daughter struggles every day to make healthy choices and is currenly over weight. As a mother it hurts to see your child unhappy. Our class provides the families with 45 minutes physical Activity, parent support and a 30 minute Nutrition component with certified nutritionist. We are also able to provide a 12 week membership to our Y. This program is vital to our Y. WE have served over 100 families since 2008 and hope to continue educating our community about the importance of creating healthy habits that last a lifetime. I know, for sure, that I need it for my family. This is just one way that we spend our Invest in Youth dollars..... We are the Y, this is our community. What would it look like with out the Y?
