MOVE WITH THE MAYOR™ (MWTM)

What Mayors Are Saying:

“That’s why we’ve joined together to launch Move with the Mayor in West Chicago. It’s a month-long series of walks to save lives by getting people on the road to a healthier heart. Each Saturday in September, we will designate a different neighborhood route that will get us moving for 30 minutes.”

—Mayor Ruben Pineda, West Chicago, IL
“I joined Move With the Mayor because I want the citizens and constituents of my community to enjoy an abundant life and that means a healthy life. You see here in south Louisiana we have great food and we love our food. But we also have health challenges like heart disease and diabetes and obesity. I want to lead by example and encourage, motivate and cheer my community on towards a healthy lifestyle.”

—Mayor Sharon Weston Broome, Baton Rouge, LA
“It’s a great opportunity to get out and about with our neighbors here in this city, get moving: do our part around wellness, reducing our risk for cardiovascular disease, a great chance to talk with our neighbors about what’s going on in their lives, a great way to reduce stress, improve our mental and emotional well-being.”

—Mayor Andrew Ginther, Columbus, OH
“Ohio outpaces most of the U.S. in cases of heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, heart attack, physical inactivity and obesity. We can do something about that and become a role model for other cities and states across the country. I am glad to join mayors across the state to make a difference.”

—Mayor Christina Muryn, Findlay, OH
