Can twelve area women make lifestyle changes during an intensive 12-week challenge? We’re about to find out as the American Heart Association coordinates its third annual Go Red For Women BetterU Makeover Challenge.
The BetterU Challenge will be a localized program for twelve women who work for Physicians Hospital System, where health coaches and medical testing is being provided at no cost along with a membership to the YMCA of Michiana. The women will also be encouraged to blog about their experiences following the BetterU tools provided by the association during the twelve weeks. At the end of the twelve weeks, they will also participate in a fashion show at the Go Red For Women Luncheon and Symposium on May 3 where their lifestyle changes will be highlighted and luncheon participants will be encouraged to take the challenge. What a great way to start a new year!
This is not a closed event as area residents can also follow along with on their own through an online tool, so in a way, this will be open to the community.

I signed in and started my blog but it is in no way linked to this one...There were no instructions that allowed me to put my blog within this one. So now what do I do? Jenny Murphy
